Aura is an interdisciplinary artist who has learned to thrive with her neurodiversity and chronic illness through connection to nature, somatic embodiment, and expressive arts practices, especially the alchemy of singing. She creates interactive presentations and multi-sensory spaces for therapeutic entertainment and holistic mental health education and advocacy. She has had the opportunity to present for National Alliance on Mental Illness and Pan American Vocology Association as well as create and facilitate mindful art groups for mental health centers. She believes her mission is to share her support and tools with other artists for relaxation, self-care, and playful transformation.

Aura guides our Artistic Freedom Mentees to enhance their creative expression, clarity, emotional integration, and embodiment through a multimodal process incorporating meditation, dance/movement, music, sound, painting, poetry, and performance art.
