As a woman moves through the stages of her life she may notice feelings of powerlessness, anger, frustration, shame and even loneliness. 
​ She may feel invisible and disconnected to her body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
​She may wonder what is wrong with her, 
​who she is and 
what she is here to do in the world.

​Making healing dolls and art can guide you in connecting with yourself and your life.

You experience more balance, internal strength, joy, meaning, peace, emotional connection and empowerment.

Making healing dolls invites a deeper connection to your
​body, mind, emotions, and spirit.

In The Healing Doll Way Barb shares stories and images from her transformative experience becoming a healing doll artist, as well as those of many of her students and peers. The book also guides you through the process of making healing dolls for yourself. The act of making a doll can take you through a process of imagination, healing, and growth. You do not need to be an expert at dollmaking—or artmaking, for that matter—to experience the healing power of this kind of work. This dollmaking process invites and encourages readers to explore a range of perceptions and emotions, and in doing so reach a deeper level of understanding and acceptance of themselves.

The Healing Doll Way and has helped hundreds of women across the world.
  • It is an experiential read that empowers the maker to discover her own creative healing power.

  • The book and its processes take a woman through an introspective exploration of archetypes, metaphors, and symbolism. When the reader makes the art, she receives insights that help her to see her pain, wounds and scars in a new enlightened way.

  • It invites the art doll maker to visualize the possibility of feeling whole through the creation and companionship of the dolls she creates.

  • The book and its creative action assignments guide the reader to make her own healing dolls and through the making of the dolls to transform her life, find purpose, heal herself and her environment.​

Reviews

A trove of images, exercises, insights, and stories, Barb Kobe's   The Healing Doll Way is the distillation of wisdom gained from a lifetime of creating art for healing and growth. Her book empowers readers to begin their own doll-making journeys.
Kay Porterfield, M.A. Author, Educator, Artist

The Healing Doll Way is a treasure. The illustrations alone are beautiful and inspiring. But Barb’s offering is beyond the visual. I’ve been blessed to have Barb mentor me through the healing process detailed in this book. If you’re seeking to explore your inner terrain, to gain insight or to transform some part of your life, look no further. Dive into these pages and let Barb’s gentle and enlightening guidance lead you forward.
 Anne R. Heck, Author of Finding the Gift: A Memoir of Rape, Intention and Miracles


"Beautiful, amazing, inspiring 
This book was long overdue. So many books have been written about the benefits of healing arts but for me this one is outstanding because it explains in a very good structure how one can overcome struggles in life through creating healing dolls. For me as a therapist for transformative therapy using art and as a sculptor this is the perfect book to have. I have been in touch with the author who is a very inspiring woman, you can feel that she wrote the book with love, wisdom and passion. It is an excellent book for women who want to transform their life, find purpose, heal themselves and their environment but also for therapists.  
 The images are wonderful and the list of questions at the end of every chapter adds a practical element. Absolutely recommend, a definite buy-IN HARD COPY!
