Lou — grief counselor and art-as-therapy facilitator

Hi, I'm Lou

Grief counselor and art-as-therapy facilitator, designer, artist and cancer survivor.

Creativity has always been my way of connecting with the world. My own losses led me to accompany others through change and transformation — through listening, through art, or a blend of both. My training integrates techniques from Mexico, Bali, Thailand, Malaysia, India and United Kingdom.

"Healing is not following the lines. It's drawing your own."
