Kasey Watson, Arroyo Grande, CA I am a 4th generation Californian and make my home in the small central coast town of Arroyo Grande, California. I have a BA in Liberal Studies from Long Beach State University; my concentration was in Art. My desire is that working as a MnemeTherapist will be the vehicle for me to encourage others as they find a new way to express themselves. My artistic nature is a gift that I want to use to help others improve the quality of their lives and I am grateful for the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments along side of them. |

| Testimonials: "I get so much pleasure out of painting. She doesn't do it for me. She shows me how. She is so great. When I paint, I feel joyful." Phyllis A.-Resident "I can’t praise Kasey Watson and the Art Without Boundaries™ program enough. The result of the program for our residents has been amazing. I am not a skeptical person by nature and I have always maintained a positive attitude but I did not think the program presented by Art Without Boundaries™ could work with the residents of our facility. Every resident is in an advanced stage of dementia so that chances of them being able to follow directions and participate in the art session seemed very remote. How wrong I was. Kasey Watson has been a very patient, skilled professional with every resident and the result has been surprisingly beautiful art, residents that smiled and responded during the session, were more alert and tranquil after the session and seemed much more content with the remaining part of the hour and sometimes even the rest of the day after the session. I would highly recommend the program." Garilee (Gari) Cave, Administrator/Founder, Garden House, Morro Bay, California "We strive everyday to bring new and innovative activities to our Residents.I have trouble finding the words to describe what the Art Without Boundaries™ program has brought to our facility. This program boosts cognition, self-worth and brings a sense of accomplishment to our Residents. They are getting a great moment in time, having fun (yet working hard) and succeeding in a finished product they can be proud of. Although there are so many things our Residents can no longer do, MnemeTherapy is something they CAN do and provides a sense of pride and self-esteem" -Makena, Activities Director "I have seen Kasey bring out the best in people through her work and the program; it is changing lives in our building" -Roberta, Social Services "This program not only benefits the staff here, it touches the lives of the families and staff here, too." -Melanie, Director of Nursing "The self-esteem alone that his program brings is amazing! You can see the glow and smiles on the faces of the Residents as they hold up their finished product...they just beam." -Kim H. Admissions Coordinator "Tony really enjoys the time he spends doing the therapy. He's more alert after the sessions and it is a very positive experience for him. I'm so happy he's able to participate." -Jo A. Spouse of client "That was fun! I really enjoyed it....can I show my husband? I hope you'll come back again." -Vinnie P. Resident |

Letter from Son of client:
"Dear Kasey,
If anyone has witnessed your gift in making my Mom have a better
day and some pride in a painting she can't quite remember but she
knows it's hers they would stand in awe. The time I watched you
with my Mom was the first time in my life I'd heard my Mom sing.
That's right – the first time. I didn't know she has a pretty good
voice. You provide a bright light for a while for people whose days
are pretty dark! You are the best "medicine" my Mom takes!!!!
Kasey, my Mom is blessed with how you help her! I can never
thank you enough!
Sincerely,
Ron G."
