As an RN/BSN, Leora designed wellness programs and provided home health nursing and geriatric case management. Her love of teaching led her to work as an LVN nursing instructor and program coordinator. Throughout her nursing career, Leora recognized the importance of providing care based on the person-centered approach. It has been this philosophy that continues to define her work. Over the past ten years, Leora sought out education in the arts (oil painting, watercolor, collage, art journaling) that honors the inherent therapeutic nature of expressing oneself through creating art.
Leora was delighted to find the Person-Centered Expressive Arts Therapy Institute and to discover an environment in which individuals may discover their own truths within themselves and through their art, as well as the skills to offer this practice to others. She completed the program, served as an intern, and brings enthusiasm, warmth, and excitement to her role as a co-facilitator. She is honored to carry forward Natalie Rogers’ legacy of offering an authentic connection to self and others through person-centered expressive arts.
