Isabel believes deeply in the power of healing through creative expression, and it's power to help cross cultural and personal barriers towards a deeper human connection. She brings a holistic, flexible approach to her work, responding to the needs and styles of her clients. For her own personal and creative outlets Isabel makes plays and loves exploring both the city and the woods.
