"Cecilia's art therapy sessions have been truly transformative for my mum. Through creative expression, we were able to explore and understand her emotions in a profound way. I had not seen my mum laugh and genuinely be happy. Cecilia's supportive and non-judgmental approach made each session a safe space for my mum. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a therapeutic outlet through art for anyone with dementia."
