She is caring, intelligent, and wonderfully committed to healing. I have picked her brain on a number of occasions and am grateful for her insight." and "I first met Lani Kent of Healing Expressions in 2011 through our Kickstarter fundraising campaign for the documentary film You Look a Lot Like Me. Lani's artistic creations, which were so inspiring, seemed like a perfect match for our audience, and we were so very honored to have her involved with our project. In addition to having been involved with our Kickstarter campaign, Lani's artwork is also featured in the companion book for You Look a Lot Like Me, and we continue to seek out further opportunities for meaningful collaboration. Getting to know and work with Lani has been a real joy from the start. She is such a generous and warm individual, and her ability to touch others with her words and images is a gift to so many who are struggling with deep and difficult wounds. I believe, as so many do, that journeys of healing can be incredibly enhanced by the power of art. Over the past decade, I have met countless victims of trauma who began their roads to recovery with pastels or watercolors in hand. Many of them were unable, in those early stages, to speak about what they had experienced, but their voices found a home in the art they created. The majority of these individuals had never picked up a paintbrush before. They might not have been artists, but somehow, these women and men shared an understanding of the freedom and perspective that art can provide. Many of the people who shared their stories with me agreed that having had access to an artistic outlet or community was incredibly instrumental in their healing from the pain of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Lani is so attuned to this reality as it applies to her work within the therapeutic community and I believe that this awareness is a large part of the incredible value that she brings to her relationships with both her clients and colleagues. For those not already familiar with all that Lani has to offer, I would highly recommend taking a closer look at the therapeutic services and opportunities her unique approach provides."
