Arts in Counseling is partnering with heather michele riddle on a thoughtfully curated art series commemorating the depth and complexity of your reproductive journey.
Participants are invited into a private, guided conversation with Heather, during which she gently witnesses and explores a pivotal moment from your experience—whether in pregnancy, birth, loss, fertility, or the postpartum period. This process is designed not only to gather your story, but to hold it with care, reflection, and intention.
Following this session, Heather enters a dedicated period of artistic creation, spending several weeks translating the emotional and symbolic essence of your narrative into an original, one-of-a-kind artwork. The resulting piece is a deeply personal interpretation—crafted as a lasting artifact of your story to be kept, honored, and revisited over time.
This offering is meaningful no matter when your story took place.
