Original painting, Sunny Flowers

AWBA Founder, Noell Hammer transforms complex feelings into striking visual narratives, inspired by original paintings created by clients during a session of MnemeTherapy. 

Through bold colors and intentional abstraction, she invites viewers to pause, reflect, and find personal meaning in the achievements of individuals who were willing to let go of the belief that they were not an artist and pick up the paintbrush.

Huntington's Disease Patient- retains smooth 
movement 

Jeffrey was 37 and had Huntington's disease* for 14 years. He is a very intelligent man and has his master's degree. He participated in a session of MnemeTherapy at an adult day care center. Pre-session, his arms jerked uncontrollably and it was difficult for him to write or feed himself. After the session, he was able to move his arms freely without jerking and walk much better. The video clip on our testimonial page is after his second session, one month later in March 08. At his last session he said he was now walking two miles a day, was able to use the computer and play chess.
