COACHING · ARTFUL STORYWORK™ · CREATIVE JOURNEYS
Hello, I am Shelley Henk, RN, BSN
Artist of the Soul
Holistic Nurse · Healing Artist · Creator of Artful Storywork™
For more than 25 years, I’ve explored what helps us be whole—as a nurse, through my own story + eventually through healing art.
I have a particular heart for helping women come home to the parts of themselves they’ve learned to abandon—their emotions, voice, dreams, desires + God-given creative power.
I believe creativity reconnects us—to ourselves, to each other, to the world + to the Creator.
It takes us on a journey into the deepest parts of our souls.
