ork with me

W

Creative, playful, and exploratory gatherings designed to open imagination and connection. These are open-ended, experiential spaces with no expectation of perfection, emphasizing experimentation, curiosity, and joy. Using art, laughter, and a series of generative prompts, these sessions invite participants into innovative, embodied, and often unexpected ways of communicating and relating to one another. They can support not only healing, while also including the emergence of new relational qualities between coworkers, parents, and community members, creating space for authentic conversation, connection, and renewed understanding. Offered for adults, small groups, communities, organizations, and workplaces seeking creativity, renewal, and relational engagement. Past participants have included the graduating class of the Yale School of Nursing, the Jewish Healing Center of New England, as well as private classes and sessions.

Deep listening, attunement, and witnessing held within a grounded, healing presence. 

What questions are you grappling with?

These sessions offer a space of reflection, care, and inquiry where what is present can be spoken, felt, and explored without urgency or agenda. They invite a slowing down into what is true, and a deepening into what is emerging.

I listen not only to what is spoken, also to what is unspoken and carried in subtle energetic fields, informed by my training in Kabbalistic healing, tantric practice with Margot Anand, Timeless Wisdom training, and ongoing study and practice with Thomas Hübl.

Work unfolds through non-linear, intuitive, and embodied practices, including reflection, ritual, blessing, and ceremony. Together, these support movement from sorrow toward meaning, repair, integration, and renewed aliveness.

Ritual-based offerings for thresholds, transitions, grief, healing, renewal, and celebration.

These sessions create intentional space for honoring life passages and supporting processes of release, transformation, and repair. They can be held for significant transitions such as the birth of a child, marriage, joyous occasions, the loss of a loved one, or the closing and beginning of important chapters.

They are also supportive for threshold moments such as starting a new business, entering a new phase of life or work, or other times of initiation and change—offering presence, meaning, and grounding through ceremony.

With more than 30 years devoted to project-based photography, I bring a sustained practice of attention, presence, and listening to each assignment.

My work moves across portrait, documentary, institutional, and place-based projects, guided by collaboration and a sensitivity to what is unique in each encounter. I approach each commission as a meeting—between people, environment, and the unfolding story that wants to be seen.

What I Offer to Individuals  and Communities

Multi-faceted spaces of creative inquiry, presence, and practice—welcoming curiosity, imperfection, and emergence.

Sometimes what we need most is not advice, but someone who listens carefully. 

" Judy has an innate ability to create conversations where I feel heard and understood. She listens deeply and reflects back what she hears with insight and care which has helped me recognize thoughts, feelings and truths that I had not acknowledged before. Her approach is thoughtful, intuitive, and compassionate. Judy offers a space where meaningful reflection and healing can unfold naturally."

“I have been in therapy a number of times during periods of stress. I began with Judy because I had met her and found her to be a caring and perceptive human being. In dialogue with her, I discovered fulfilling and exciting aspects of myself that I had kept hidden for many years. With her gentle accepting wisdom, she opened a way for me to develop much more real relationships with others, and more importantly, with myself “

“Years of counseling did not help me as much as the sessions with Judy; after a few months I began experiencing life more deeply and truly feeling fulfilled. I have benefitted so much for her patience and passion that i have recommended her to others.”
