"I found our time with Heidi to be incredibly insightful.
The way Heidi explained being labelled with a thing you don’t like and being stuck with that forever was really impactful, especially when there are very limited positive images associated with schizophrenia. Her exercises were really confronting and enlightening.
I feel Heidi is one of the most positive images of schizophrenia. We are really lucky to be able to have that time with Heidi and to learn".

'So grateful to Heidi for running a creativity workshop at Ivanhoe Library today. You'd be amazed at how much you can achieve in two hours under Heidi's silky smooth guidance.
We did writing games to loosen up our creativity, which was productive in itself, then we did some basic illustrations and learned how to make a simple book. I made one called 'Mud', about a kid jumping in mud. After the break we learned how to write song lyrics, but without instruments - we had a choice of various approaches - I wrote a few lullabies with the help of my son Patios. Later I performed one of them for the class. A terrific workshop,
Heidi - thanks so much. You boosted our confidence and showed us a little of what we are capable of.'
