About
Hi! I’m Kristen and I am a wife, mother of 2 boys, a music therapist, an educator, and an artist. I have a Masters in Arts Education and a Masters in Music Therapy.
I have always been drawn to the arts and am a creative soul. I love how the arts enhance education and learning and want to share my passion with others.
Music and art are powerful tools to enhance education and therapy. As a board-certified music therapist I can offer insight into how music can be used to accomplish non-music goals such as cognitive skills, physical skills, and emotional skills. As an artist I can share how I use art in my own life and in the life of my kids.
As a homeschool mom I am always researching and creating resources to help my kids learn. Learning through play and the arts is so meaningful! This site gives me the opportunity to share what I have learned along the way and what I have created as well.
I am passionate about wellness and mental health. I have always used art and nature in my self-care and self-expression which has helped with my mental health. In 2023 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and found myself on a whole new health journey. This healing journey incorporated physical changes, specifically change in nutrition and movement, but also mental health changes as I learned more about the importance of dealing with stress and negative emotions for optimal health.
Join me as I share all that I have learned in these areas of Creativity and Wellness! I am a life-long learner and continue to study and learn more and more each day. I love to share what I discover and would love to connect with you about any or all of it.
My hope is that you will be encouraged and take something away from what I offer here and join me as we learn together and find ways to incorporate these important aspects into our daily rhythms of life.
Living Water Restorations
Hi! I’m Kelton Crouch, Kristen’s husband. I have been restoring Bibles for several months now and am excited about all I have learned! I am thrilled that God has been using this to reach so many people in my community. I am helping people to restore their treasured Bibles which are well-loved and worn to a stronger, more beautiful book. God’s word is the foundation of our lives and I feel honored to be able to help people one Bible at a time.
If you are interested in having your Bible restored you can contact me for more information. I would love to meet with you and discuss how we can bring your Bible back to life.
