Healing HeARTS Mobile Art Studio is a mobile non-profit organization committed to bringing healing and hope to the community through expressive arts and self-care resources.
Each of these toolboxes are designed to inspire self-expression, healing and peace, through the art supplies and age-appropriate activity resources included inside.
We offer a range of expressive art workshops aimed at enhancing self-awareness and self-esteem, providing coping skills and support for those who need it.
The healing wagon is always on the go! Learn about our current and upcoming events, workshops and more, here.
Diana DiNicola has loved art since her childhood. She enjoyed drawing and painting during her early years but lost touch with her artistic side when she went to high school. She then went to Virginia Tech for finance and spent a decade in that field. It wasn’t until she decided to stay at home to raise her children that she rekindled her passion for art…
The Healing Hearts toolkits have been a wonderful resource to use working with students. Since the pandemic began, I have noted a marked increase in anxiety and depression. I am working with a couple of students who are experiencing significant stress in their home environment. Thank you so very much for advocating for and providing these kits, they have provided warmth, laughter, and smiles for very deserving children.
I have several students who have been hospitalized this year for self harm etc. and we are trying to support them with positive coping skills. Thank you so much for all that you do. We really appreciate you.
We have had amazing results using the boxes. We use the boxes to help children who have experienced trauma to express themselves using alternative healthy methods. This program is fantastic and much needed in our community. The only way to improve would be to make the program available to more students.
I am impressed by the whole box, from how the box itself is organized to all of the items in it. However, I really appreciate the booklet inside that describes the box, how it can be used, other coping skills that can be used, and a spot for a self-care plan. As a school social worker and a licensed clinical social worker, this is a big part of what we are helping students to learn. It's so awesome to have this resource to share with the kids!
“This workshop was amazing. I loved the way it was run, the way it was altered to fit the virtual setting, and the way the participants engaged. So wonderful!”
“This was such an incredible experience. I hope many more people get to do it. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is thinking of trying it.”
“It encouraged me to start some activities that I forgot brought me peace again.”
“It was the first moment in a while where I was able to stop the rapid busy and stressful stream of thoughts racing and just be quiet and peaceful by using art as an expression.”
I am writing to express my thanks for the Self Care Toolboxes that you sent to our Counseling Center. I shared the news of your kindness and passed one of the Toolboxes around at our staff meeting this morning, and it was clearly a boost to everyone’s morale. I also circulated your business cards and promotional sheet in hopes that our staff may reach out to you if their clients might benefit from the products and services that you offer.
