Healing Doll Way Course Offerings for 2025
The Healing Doll Way online classes are based on my book The Healing Doll Way:
A Guided Process Creating Art Dolls for Self-Discovery, Awareness, and Transformation.
Origins of the Healing Doll Way
In 2000, I wrote a college research paper that inspired the curriculum and book for healing dolls. In 2006, I launched the Healing Doll Project using Yahoo Groups. Since then, the process and class have evolved significantly. Over one thousand women, both in person and online, have created art dolls using the Healing Doll Way process.
Classes are conducted via Zoom video conferences and coaching calls, and I try to keep my (digital) classrooms playful and creative as I guide, coach, and mentorparticipants—teaching the language of healing art doll making and encouraging trust in your intuition as you create art and engage with the process. With the book as a guide and workbook, each session includes education, inspiration, coaching, group engagement through Open Studios, art journaling, creative processes, and dollmaking to support your journey through the Healing Doll Way steps of
Discovery, Self-Awareness, and Transformation.

You’ve created your Healing Dolls—now it’s time to explore the territories, lands, and fields where they reside. This class builds on the creative work you’ve done in previous sessions, incorporating the dolls and art you’ve already created. Your dolls will take center stage as the characters who play and interact within your personal healing story.
In this next phase, you’ll use painting and collage process art to create a story map that allows you to dive deeper into your healing journey. Through this creative exploration, you’ll uncover core beliefs, themes, and narratives that guide and influence your path. Following intuitive threads, you’ll reflect on where you’ve been, where you are now, and where you may be headed. |
