Student Testimonials
Diane inhabits that unique, inspiring combination of compassion and conviction that enables her to support others honestly in their growth.
I have never thought of myself as an artist, but Diane’s clear instruction provided the guidance and encouragement I needed to branch out and express myself in new and satisfying ways. It is obvious that Diane puts a great deal of thought and care into her lessons, and she asks nothing of her students that she has not wrestled with herself. I have become more confident, more daring and more vulnerable in self-expression, and learned skills that I will carry through life. Take this course: you will not regret it!

For decades I have used a traditional written journal with limited benefits.
Diane’s art journaling course allowed me to get beyond the limitations of the written word. Her original approach, gleaned from her own unique process, has been invaluable as I have worked through a host of experiences and feelings. This course gave me techniques to go deeper than discursive thought to the depth beneath conscious awareness. At age 62 I had never drawn or painted and believed a story that I was not an artist. With Diane's kind and skilled teaching, I have awakened my inner artist and intend to continue with her as more teachings become available. I highly recommend this course.

Prior to taking Journaling HeART, I was deeply struggling with the grief of losing my soulmate. Despite being an eternally optimistic spirit, it seemed like true happiness would never be something I genuinely felt again.
Diving into this art journaling class did multiple things for me. First, it mandated that I create space in my ridiculously busy life to take time for myself. The playful nature allowed for me to feel joy and freedom. I was also able to safely express some of the deep and painful feelings that were stirring in me. Putting the rage on paper and covering it up with art was beyond therapeutic. The self-paced nature of this course makes for no excuses not to do it.
The shift and space in my soul as a result of this work is a gift beyond words. Diane is magical at what she does. The world will prosper from her teachings!

Diane’s course came to me at the perfect time!! I was in one of the lowest points in my life. I was devastated by betrayal and the abrupt end of my marriage and found myself reeling with so many emotions I didn’t know what to do with them.
This course helped me so much by guiding me to journal my feelings and to start having a relationship with my inner life. At first, I felt scared and lonely, and then I began listening to Diane’s lessons and I’d do the journaling exercises. She taught me to look inside of myself and not be afraid. I was so appreciative of her gentle guidance. Through the journaling techniques I was able to express my feelings and learn to be with myself. I also loved the poetry she read to us.
I’m grateful this course came to me at just the right time and now I have these self-care tools forever.
