Healing Arts and Therapeutic Art
Healing Arts, or Therapeutic Art, has a rich history, rooted in practices like storytelling and cave painting, which have been forms of therapy for centuries. While psychology began formally recognizing its benefits in the 1940s, the power of art therapy to heal individual and collective trauma is timeless. Today, neuroscience and leading psychotherapists are uncovering compelling data that supports the effectiveness of art therapy.

Naulli Spirit Painting
Nauli Spirit Painting is a transformative practice that gently processes emotional wounds, fostering healing, empowerment, and clarity.
Rooted in Cherokee spiritual traditions and the Nahuatl term “Nauli,” meaning sorcerer or sorceress, this practice honors my indigenous Mexican heritage. Guided by Naomi C. Rose, who learned from her Cherokee Shaman teacher, we create a bridge between cultures.
In our intimate sessions, you'll explore painting as a spiritual journey, receiving insights and answers from the universe. No prior art experience is needed—just an open heart!
