Yukie NakamuraDirector of Sales at Gucci (Tokyo, Japan)The Art Therapy was wonderful experience, so cozy and relaxed and your course is really interesting, making a part of body with different texture, I think it's my first time did in my life. I draw several times, but making a part is totally different experience. and sharing with friends are even wonderful experience. Luba is amazing instructor, good for relaxing people and giving us more power making art! The experience is I felt I could get back to my childhood pureness through the art session. -

Roslana LazarOriginally from Bulgaria
Classical Piano School founder in Portland Or. working on completing her degree in Music therapyMy name is Roslana Lazar, and I'm a pianist and piano teacher. My personal interest of doing Art Therapy sessions, experiments etc. is huge.
Knowing Luba Gonina as a person and Art Therapist for my daughter. I saw the growth, and positive transition for my daughter during the time of the work with Luba.
Luba is truly dedicated and involved with Art Therapy, and is so interesting always to talk and be around her, learning for the great ideas and projects she is doing.
I truly believe in her talent and skills for Art Therapy.
This experiment was a great opportunity for me to work in a group, because I always prefer a individual session.
Was very impulsive, creative and truly relaxing for me.
Will love to do it again.
