Testimonials

"The Express Yourself! Art and Music prompts stimulate such creative freedom and offer the chance to connect deeper to myself and my child. I am continually impressed by how much conversation the deck inspires on topics that offer an opportunity for proactive processing and scaffolding emotional support skills. Sharon & Andrew’s career background has given them the skills to create a sought-after community for parents of young children all while fostering a naturally inviting environment for children to explore nature, art, music, and emotional intelligence alongside their peers. Our experience with the Heartwood program has been truly invaluable."

-Natalie H, Parent

"Heartwood is a special program. Sharon and Andrew bring their expertise and talents together to create an experience that fosters creativity, expression, and community amongst children and parents alike. 

Our children enjoyed gently-led time spent in nature, creating expressive art, and collectively singing with others around a fire. There is something very powerful about gathering with others and heartwood cultivates just that." 

-Kristi B., Parent 

"These music and art therapy prompt cards are wonderful! They’re naturally motivating, which makes them great for targeting communication, social skills, and emotional awareness in a more play-based way. They’ve been a great way to keep sessions fresh while still working toward individualized goals. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to incorporate something creative and engaging into their sessions."

-Gina R., Therapist

"My kids all enjoyed attending Heartwood! It was a time full of friends, art, music, and nature. Who could ask for any better? The kids loved playing with the mud kitchen, the sound garden, and the tree swing. They really loved the art projects, like splatter painting and making creations with clay. I definitely wouldn’t want to miss out on another Heartwood opportunity!"

-Crystal B., Parent 

"Our son always feels comfortable and confident when spending time with Andrew and Sharon. He appreciates the mix between self-led and guided activities and really enjoys the spaces they curate, especially the Sound Garden! We have loved participating in their Heartwood program and always look forward to spending time with them." 

-Jamey R., Parent 

"The art and music card decks are a creative way to open communication lines between my children and I. They can be used with the whole family together and adapted to age and development. My kids really enjoyed using art to show feelings and things they like about themselves. It also teaches teamwork and cooperation. 5 stars!"
