Ann Hemdahl-Owen

(Writer, Painter, Therapist)

​

I taught a range of subjects at Jefferson Community Technical College in Louisville, Kentucky. Teaching included Drawing, Painting, Design, Art Education, Art Appreciation, Art History. Because it was a small campus I had the joy of always choosing new texts and lesson plans. That was lucky because I tend to get bored easily and love a challenge. Before college level I started teaching in nursery schools, kindergarten, and first grade slowly working up to substituting in many grades while in California and Pennsylvania. There were other jobs in community based organizations.


I was active in Hospice as a volunteer when it first developed in Shelby County, Kentucky. When I retired from teaching, I worked as art therapist with children who were dying and those who had loved ones dying. After moving to Indiana, I returned to volunteering. Hospice has been part of my life for many years yet in the beginning I did much serious thinking about life and death before being with others facing hard decisions. It was in Hospice I began exploring alternative healing modalities including Hypnosis, HypnoBirthing, Reiki and many more.

Therapy is often short term and solution-based. Hypnotherapy and Expressive Therapy work with the unconscious, encouraging Higher Wisdom to bring solutions that are unique and intuitive and spiritual to each individual.
