'Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life? '
(Mary Oliver)
Vision and mission
Hello, my name is Claudia Blank.
I am a freelance visual artist, counselor, and consultant. Nice that you have landed on my website.
I believe that creative talents lie dormant within each of us. Creativity is indispensable in any form of change, in problem solving and in growth and development. Potential is available to everyone - even if the access can sometimes be hidden or even lost. Allow your intuition, feel your body, tap into your energy and spiritual space, find courage, and begin.
Through counseling and consultation, I will encourage you to recognize your own strengths and to rediscover your creative vision and self-determination. The aim is to regain confidence with creativity, mindfulness, and humor, to allow a change of perspective, and to be open to new pathsways.
Supporting people on this journey is particularly important to me.
And I truly believe: It's worth it!
My qualifications
The breadth and depth of my skills offered through my services represent the combination of my extensive professional experiences and qualifications. These include my many years of personal and commercial artistic work, the approaches to systemic social counseling for which I am credentialed, and my many years of running a business. All of this flows together in my consultations and support, with passion and conviction!
