“Elaine Smookler is both a phenomenal instructor and an expert in the area. Her course is innovative, interesting, and engaging. She is passionate about the course and interested in each learner’s creative journey and career. Not only does she foster a positive learning environment with ample opportunities for peer-to-peer and learner-to-instructor learning, she goes above-and-beyond in her class to schedule individual meetings with the learners. These individually tailored sessions address the needs of different learning styles, turn theory into practice, and guides learners in their unique creative journey. Her class and the individual meeting gave me new insights and helped me figured out what I wanted. Since meeting her, I have achieved my goal of publishing my first book, and helped advance my career as a clinician teacher. I highly recommend her course: A Mindful Way Through the Creative Process."
