Nancy Mellon has pioneered healing, therapeutic storytelling both as a therapist and as an educator for over thirty five years. Her work has reached healing arts specialists world-wide, and inspired parents, teachers, grandparents, writers, artists and storytellers with the healing power of story. She is a former Steiner / Waldorf educator, working from kindergarten through to Class 12. A psychotherapist she specialises in healing through the arts. An enchanting, much loved storyteller, she wrote the classic Storytelling with Children.
Healing Storytelling is profound and at the same time simple. Instead of elaborating theoretical frameworks, it goes straight to stories, and then offers ways in which we can connect with their deeper levels of meaning. All of this carries the authority of Nancy Mellon's many years of storytelling- what she has learned herself and from others. -- Donald Smith * Scottish Storytelling Forum *
