I am so grateful for the way art therapy has enabled me to shift into cruise mode more often, to take time out and play for the first time, with art materials — Gayle
“The key that opened the door”
I first made contact with Caroline a year ago after being referred to her from a friend.
Caroline listened to my story with great compassion, patience, and understanding. I am in a 12 step program and was struggling to articulate my early childhood experiences. Under Caroline’s guidance and support I began to express myself with a simple stick in sand. The experience was profound as I was able, through simple circles, leaves and ash, express the stages of my upbringing in a way I never could have expressed on paper or in words ... it was the key that opened the door for a better understanding of myself and my 12 step journey.

“A sense of freedom”
I met Caroline recently at the Solaris Centre, within Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital, where she supports cancer patients by volunteering her time, knowledge and skills through Art Therapy.
I don’t really have any artistic abilities, however I had several sessions with Caroline which I thoroughly enjoyed. During the sessions Caroline encouraged me to express my feelings creatively, which gave me a sense of freedom, totally relaxing my mind from what was going on in my life and as a bonus provided me with some new artistic skills. I found Caroline to be a gentle caring soul and would highly recommend True Nature Art Therapy to anyone who is looking to improve their wellbeing.

“From Chaos to Order ”
Through the art therapy group, I have discovered I am an intuitive painter, engaging in the feeling of the brushstrokes, the response to colour, being in the moment, unlocking my body and mind. Caroline has guided me to let go of judgement or a desired outcome. In the chaos of my life, its transitions and flows, I rediscover order and stillness for a while, knowing everything is where it is meant to be. I grow stronger in each moment.

“Warmth and authenticity”
You are truly a wonderful therapeutic artist. Your warmth and authenticity, and your gentle nurturing has meant so much to me and helped me immensely on my quest for wellness.

Art enables up to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
