About Branches & Brushes
The mission of our company is to offer a supportive group environment that allows for healing and learning. Our instructor, Mary Winstanley is a Mental Health Counselor with a background in Fine Arts. During the week she works with individual clients, but on the weekends she devotes her time to children and teens who can benefit from someone who will listen in a fun environment. Working through art takes the pressure off of sitting one-on-one and lets the student explore their hidden creativity.

Art and Wellness
This class is geared toward ages 7-12. In this relaxing, creative and judgement free space we use art, sand, storytelling and other mindfulness tools to connect within a group setting. We explore how different mediums help us access emotions, share experiences and learn new things about art and ourselves! Each week a new project is presented with a variety of options to engage comfortably or try new supplies with guidance. We end with a new closing each time to share thoughts and see how our experience can connect us in new ways.
Sensory Experience
This class is geared toward toddlers ages 3-6. In this energetic, colorful space toddlers explore art, get messy and meet friends. Sensory activities are set up inviting kids to enjoy each area in their own time. From shaving cream, jell-o, sand and paint…the possibilities are endless! Sensory play helps children understand how their actions affect what’s around them supporting brain development, enhancing memory, complex tasks and problem solving.
Mindful Moments
This drop in group offers a variety of mediums, a meditative environment and supportive space to decompress. Come individually or bring friends.
