Open for Pre-Orders!
As an artist, I understand the toll that an active studio practice can have on the body. The repetitive tasks that artists and crafters take on every day often lead to strain and pain. I have worked hard to transform all of the information I’ve learned throughout the years about movement, posture, massage, and the artist’s studio practice into digestible ideas for you to consider in your studio.
That's why during the pandemic, I wrote a book with the art and craft community in mind! Wellness for Makers: A Movement Guide for Artists is now available for pre-orders on the Schiffer Publishing website, Barnes and Noble, Target, Thrift Books, Amazon, and more! By following the 40+ exercises outlined in this book with detailed photos, you will learn the best ways to sit, stand, walk, and move to reduce your risk of injury in the studio. My goal is to help you improve your posture and reduce your risk of developing a repetitive strain injury over time. Use this as a resource to learn the actions, techniques, and best practices that will allow you to move in a way that strengthens your studio practice and body.
Want to see it in your local bookstore or craft school? I'd love for you to share it with them.
