| Here is a brief biography of our Featured Speaker, Andi Berry. Below is the schedule for the 2013 Wellness Conference.
From potter to Board Certified Art Therapist, LPC, and NCC, Andi Berry has found centering a constant theme of her life. She credits centering in clay, in dance, in yoga, and in mindfulness as helping her become more present in her daily work as an oncology and medical counselor. Andi is owner and operator of a small private practice, Wyoming Art Therapy and Medical Counseling LLC. She specializes in psycho-social oncology and is active with the Wyoming Comprehensive Cancer Control Consortium, Casting for Recovery, and the Wyoming pediatric cancer camp, Camp Courage. Some of Andi’s other interests include animal assisted therapy, art making, and the outdoors. She feels very lucky to be able to go to work every day with her partner in counseling, Lucy the doodle dog.
