Since 2000 John I have studied a variety of approaches for creative expression and personal wellness for the achievement of self-exploration, stress reduction, and the regaining of personal power. These practices have included a Masters in Art Psychotherapy, Kundalini and Hatha Yoga teacher programs, and holistic lifestyle and recovery coaching. My experience using art and stress reduction methods in hospitals, with amputees, male and female veterans, and people living with cancer, dementia, and other challenging diagnoses has solidified my understanding of the power of the creative process and the importance of taking action in ones life. My path of recovery began 16 years ago at the age of 22, and continues today and all of the practices I recommend, I integrate into my daily life. I work with clients to co-create with them wellness programs that meet their physical, emotional, and mental health needs. Together we will build a life of Empowerment, Connection, and Joy.
