Parents Say...

The positive changes that I experienced as a result of working with Dorit spread to all aspects of my life.  Dorit’s insights into life and parenting helped me to accept my children and myself the way we are, without expecting ourselves to be a certain way, or fit into certain roles.  I have truly been enriched and am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with a teacher of such depth, authenticity, and presence.  Our work together has positively impacted my art life and my life in general to this day.

Dorit’s work with our two school-age daughters has proved invaluable.  Using a variety of art media, she has been able to draw out our eight-year-old daughter, helping her to gain confidence in herself and her abilities. Dorit’s gentle approach and quiet discussions have been instrumental in helping her to conquer the fears that had been preventing her from enjoying social interactions with other children.

What is so special about the way Dorit’s works is that she approaches children based on their individual style and personality. When our five-year-old daughter stopped wanting to attend kindergarten, Dorit became a friend to her, sitting on the floor beside her and participating in imaginary play to help her work through her fears. A combination of hands-on materials such as sand, plastic figurines and magic rocks sparked a remarkable transformation that enabled our daughter to overcome her worries and board the school bus with confidence. I feel comfortable saying that Dorit’s work with children is nothing short of extraordinary.
