Testimonials on Dianne Furphy Services from her clients at Kreate What U Want LLC, 1:1 and group sessions for kids, teens and adults.
Parent, 3-Week In-Person Workshop for Tweens
"My girls attended a three week workshop class with Dianne and had the most incredible experience. They learned mindfulness techniques, worked on journaling, familiarized themselves with new art materials and stepped outside of their comfort zone in many ways. Dianne made the classes welcoming, fun and engaging and the studio space was very inviting. My girls connected immediately with her calm presence, nurturing attitude and kind heart and couldn’t wait to go back each week. We are so excited to have discovered Dianne and her amazing talents and will absolutely be joining more classes soon!"

"I wish I could give Dianne & Kreate What U Want more stars! Not only is Dianne extremely welcoming, but so is the space! She has a beautiful set up. Dianne has a great personality! My daughter usually doesn’t like Art workshops, but she LOVED this one and it’s because Dianne really encourages them to embrace their unique individuality, which is so important! She created a wonderful safe space for my daughter to be herself in! I love how Dianne incorporated art and positive affirmations! I will definitely be signing my daughter up again for future classes."

Tween from 1:1 Session, After 4th Session, Virtual
What tween shared they learned after the 4th session with Dianne:
​
1.) "I learned how to calm myself down through drawing.
2.) I learned how to become more aware of my surroundings and how I am feeling.
3.) I am not the type of person to open up and share my feelings and emotions but I can see with these sessions, I have become more open in doing so"

"I really like coming into session with Dianne. I haven't felt down and I even feel more happier since I started working with her. It feels good to talk to Dianne especially because she provides me a safe space and I love that she provides me tools to help with my life experiences outside of the sessions."

Teen from 1:1 Session, after 2nd session
"I am so grateful to have session with Dianne and I love what she does. I have tried traditional talk therapy and it just was not for me. I can tell Dianne will be super helpful for me and her approach to our sessions with art & mindfulness makes me look forward to coming. Dianne allows a space for me to self-express the way I truly need and I wanted to say thank you for that."

Daniela G. - 1:1 Sessions & Adult Group Workshops
"Dianne is magical! I feel so confident and powerful after every session or class with her. She has been a monumental part of working through my fears and doubts to feel motivated, confident, and improving my self-worth challenges to feel deserving. As a person as well as a mentor/coach, she is one of the most genuine, kind, loving, talented, aware, and beautiful souls to have with you supporting you throughout your personal and professional developments and journey! She is so helpful through the more challenging times to work through obstacles and see the greater purpose and light at the end of the tunnel.
​
When my focus is all over the place, I feel lost or confused, I've lost confidence in myself, I've lost trust in the universe, I am physically/emotionally/spiritually burnt out, and I all around just don't feel like myself or very optimistic, Dianne is the person I turn to. Along with her expertise in talk methods and words of encouragement and perspectives, she is able to pull from a variety of resources, tools, and methods, such as art therapy approaches, visualization, etc, which I love for my healing journey!"
Christina G. - Parent from Teen Art Mindfulness 4-Week Workshop (ages 13 to 17)
"My daughter had an instant connection with Dianne! She has a true talent for connecting with teens and helping them feel comfortable with exploring their emotions. This course series was a great reminder and review for my child, who has been taught similar strategies throughout her life. The beauty of this particular experience was Dianne, however. She was able to bring something more to the topic than I could as the mother. This is invaluable, especially now during these challenging times of disconnection, uncertainty and worry. Using art to build mindfulness and emotional awareness is a beautiful concept and this aspect was particularly beneficial for my daughter, who very much loves art."
Sarah D. - Adult Group Workshops
"I have learned so much from Dianne in the world of coaching. She comes with so much knowledge on how to help others and also the love and drive to make those she helps feel safe and secure.
​
When I have seen Dianne not only share her experience but also work in her field, I see an individual who is determined to help others grow and also continue to grow in her career and craft.
​
If you are lucky enough to work with Dianne, learn from her, or have her as part of your team, you are in for a real treat. Friendly, brilliant, and nurturing are just three of the many ways I could describe Dianne."
