HEALING ART SPACES DIRECTOR
Jamie leads the design of our Discovery Art Wellness Centers that provide a safe space for youth to cultivate a whole, beautiful and meaningful life. Her healing environments ensure that children and youth are surrounded by the beauty of nature to help them process their emotions, learn how to self-regulate, foster courage, develop positive coping skills, reduce anxiety and have a safe space to express themselves. The wellness spaces also help youth discover hope, cultivate healing and foster growth in their lives. Jamie is a mom to three young children.
