Renae has worked in mental health and found it very rewarding, her biggest lesson is that she couldn't change people and do their inner work and that's why she is so passionate about Art Therapy because the individual does their own inner work exploring their own insights which cements the process and creates a sense of empowerment.
While working in mental health Renae witnessed the healing that art brought about and was so grateful that she was inspired to study Art Therapy.
Renae volunteers when time permits at The Sanctuary Women Children and Pet Refuge and enjoys this as she never knows who will be there or where each person is at in their journey.

When words alone are not enough, trust the process that Art Therapy can gift.
