Healing Doll Workshops
The Power of Making a Healing Doll
Dive into a realm where dolls transcend mere playthings and become powerful symbols of your inner journey.
Creating a healing doll is more than simply making a doll. It's a profound exploration of creativity and wisdom. As you bring your doll to life, you catalyze emotions, embolden your spirit, and playfully uncover the depths of who you are. The doll you create becomes a storyteller, embodying your ideas, beliefs, and energy — the essence of your evolving self.
Through your creative process, you become more whole.
Rediscover Your Creative Essence
Midlife brings a newfound freedom and a surge of creativity, often untouched for years. Women, in particular, embark on an exploration of re-examining their power, rediscovering their purpose, and reconnecting with their creativity.
Embrace this. Embrace the need to create and express yourself, and let your creativity become a healing force.
The doll you craft reflects the empowered woman you are now — an embodiment of wisdom, voice, power, and the creative force within. She becomes a storyteller of your experience and a talisman — a touchpoint — for your healing journey.
The Liminal Space of Creativity
Equally important to the ideas you sift through and come to know as you make a healing doll is the creative space itself. There’s a liminal, timelessness to this creative container that offers you a way into your inner world where play and imagination meet your intuition. And the making itself is a portal to new insight and awareness. The questions you might be holding can be revealed through what you make.
And this making, the making of a healing doll, goes beyond merely creating an object; the tangible and the mystical, combined, transform your self-perception in a way no other form of self-discovery can.

The Needle Felted Healing Doll — Foundation Course
Coming Soon.
Needle felting is one of my favorite ways to create healing dolls. The process itself is meditative; it’s easy to move into that sense of timelessness where creativity becomes healing.
This course will teach you the foundations. It’s for anyone who is interested in creating needle-felted dolls. No experience is necessary. We’ll make a few different dolls to give you both a practical experience as well as a way to explore and express yourself and the ideas you are exploring at a personal level.
Contact me if you’d like to stay informed when details and registration for this workshop opens!
This is Marge, one of my favorite needle-felted dolls. She’s full of the Slowful and Soulful. In her making, something deep shifted within me around the power of being present in the little things.
