A collaboration that merges wellness and art.

Over time, Alexandre's wife Maria, who holds dual certifications as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, noticed a significant trend among attendees of Alexandre's art events and auctions. She observed that many individuals experienced an uplift in mood and often shared feelings of emotional resonance with the artwork.

Recognizing the profound impact of art on emotional well-being, Maria decided to explore the potential of art therapy as an adjunctive treatment option for her patients. Motivated by her findings, Maria pursued training in art therapy and conducted further research on its therapeutic benefits. She discovered that art therapy has a rich history as an evidence-based intervention in the treatment of various mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, and trauma-related issues, among others. Through creative expression and exploration, art therapy offers patients a non-verbal outlet to process emotions, reduce stress, and promote self-awareness and healing. Maria's integration of art therapy into her practice reflects a holistic approach to mental health care, aiming to enhance the overall well-being of her patients.
