If we haven’t met yet, my name is Joyce Mulrooney — One of the many individuals who have fallen in love with the Healing Arts Method.

I first heard about the Method in October 2022 when I attended a one-day workshop. That day wasn’t just informational — it was experiential. Not only did we hear a passionate introduction to the method from the founder, Rebecca Shults, but we stepped into it for ourselves and collaborated with other creatives and professionals forming bonds and friendships that still hold strong four years later.

From that day on, I was hooked.

Yesterday—the first day at the Project Rescue home—was a dismal and complete failure, and only resulting in hopelessness on my part.

The day ended with me bawling in Naomi’s living room, telling her I have no skill, no gameplan and no hope to work with these girls, even though they truly are the REASON, THE girls that I joined Project Rescue for. And that I had come this far to end up a useless failure. She warned me that it WAS going to be a serious challenge to convince them to open up… so I had to start asking myself, What is my real goal? What does God really want to do here through me? What can I ask of Him to do through me in these girls lives… there is a dire need, a sense of hopelessness and desperation… so what is that need? How can I ask the Lord to show it to me, and to respond tangibly to that need during my interaction with the girls? The first step, I knew, must be to pray for relationship with the girls, for us to build trust and a connection.
