A Mental Health Break

A gifted ceramic artist, she creates beautiful works of art as one way of connecting back to herself and God.

Her daily writing practice keeps her focused and moving forward as she helps others get their stories out to the world through her publishing platform.

Psychotherapist Tamara Kiekhaefer has worked in the field of mental health for over twenty years, and now, has developed Preparing for the Jungle to teach what she knows is required to achieve a healthy, romantic relationship.
