Claudia McFarlane, MA, Certified Mandala Facilitator
Claudia McFarlane is a Certified Mandala Facilitator, Spiritual Life Counselor and Intuitive Painter. She has been teaching and facilitating "healing art" for over 10 years. Her Head Heart Hands Healing Art Program is designed to educate, nurture and support people towards self-empowerment through the use of various art modalities. Combining art, music and journaling as an alternative method to confront life situations supports reconnecting to the inner self for deep insight.

She works with people from all walks of life, but the main focus has been working with cancer patients.

Studying various intuitive and spiritual methods in connection with the art process, she found a natural and simple approach for deep exploration. The best way to confront any situation in life is through art. Art is medicine for the soul. It is soothing and transforming. Exploring and experiencing the power of your own creativity is the best journey for discovering a real sense of freedom in mind, body and soul. Claudia is a true believer that 'Art Heals.'
