Sheila founded Therapeutic Arts Science and Growth Mindset aka (TASGM)

an acronym her children chose, with the intention of spreading education, and showing that wellness can be found within the realms of arts & science. She also wanted to share that meditation can be done in different ways and not needing to following only one discipline of meditation, which may not work for everyone. ‘The arts are already therapeutic, but if we can show individuals how to use the already existing tools we have within reach to help practice releasing anxiety and stress, wouldn’t you want to learn how to do this in a fun way?

Growing up Sheila spent a considerable amount of time babysitting and a lot of her teen years were spent volunteering at children’s camps and Reston Hospital. Being the oldest child and oldest cousin in a large family, she needed to find creative ways to entertain them. She took on many leadership roles in High School and College and while growing her post collegiate career, she ended up in Technology Project Management. She has taught pres-school, teens, and adults in many subjects, but her journey led to the idea of TASGM.
