Since 2014, teaching the Zentangle Method, I've heard many students share how Zentangle changed their lives. Here are just a few:
Susan - I was depressed after my mother passed. She was my best friend. Thank you for introducing me to Zentangle. It gave me a new focus.
Jayne - Thank you. Zentangle got me thru pain management of two knee replacements. During my recovery, I tangled 14 pumpkins for the doc's and nurses.
Donna - Thank you. During my battle with breast cancer, my Zentangle journal was the best therapy I had.
Lauren - Thank you. When asked to take your class, I thought I couldn't continue art because of my essential tremors. You told me that tangling helps tremors and eye-hand-coordination. I was surprised that I could "tangle" and my art looked fantastic. I began making birthday/holiday cards for my entire family with a personal flair to them. One visit to my doctors office, she said "your tremors are better". I told her about Zentangle. Doc said to continue - it seems to be helping.
Sue - Sue started crying after her first Zentangle class. She said "thank you". When I was in elementary school, a teacher told me my art was terrible and never do it again. I am 65 years old and this is the first art I've ever tried to create and it is beautiful.
Mom of 8 year old autistic student - OMG, where can I get my son more Zentangle classes? I've never seen him sit so still and finish a project. Thank you.
Counselor at San Diego Zoo summer camp - The kids told me their favorite class at camp this summer was your Zentangle classes.
Directors of Education at San Diego Zoo - I had to come to class to see how you get 125 students in each class to sit so quiet for 45 minutes.
Nine year old student - Her Mom told after she took my Zentangle class, she is know as the girl that does art at school.
Debbie - Thank you. Can't wait to bring Zentangle to my 3rd grade class. This will help kids with ADD/ADHD to focus and quiet down.
Zentangle had been proved to benefit:
Stress reduction
Anxiety
Depression
Insomnia
Fear of flying
Lowering blood pressure
Pain Management
Bereavement
PTSD
ADD/ADHD
Essential tremors/Parkinson's Disease
Cancer/addiction therapy
Anger Management

Self Esteem
Currently research is of Zentangle and the effects it has on bi-polar and Schizophrenia patients.
When I teach kids, I say "if you are sad/mad/bored - try Zentangle"
When will your healing art begin?
