Carly Sullens has been inspired to teach childbirth preparation classes, provide doula services and offer postpartum assistance by mothering her two children. She has been a life long student of the healing potential of art making since she has been expressing herself through art at a young age. That passion has lead her to receive a masters degree in art therapy and has been working as an art therapist for over 10 years. She has combined her passion; using art and the creative process to help expecting couples prepare for birth and parenthood. She has been trained by Pam England, author and founder of Birthing From Within.

Carly is also a professional artist. Her subject matters surround images of women, the spiritual realm, and the beauty of life. "Art-making is my passion. I find I always need to be creating with my hands no matter what phase I am in my life. The symbols of my art, the unfolding stories they tell, and the creative process connects me to my deeper self. I believe in the healing potential of art-making, because of this belief I enjoy helping others discover themselves through creativity."
