The Person Behind the Practice

People know me as “the kindness token lady” or the founder of the Ripple Practice™.

They assume that’s where I started.

I didn’t even call myself an artist until 2025 — and the practice didn’t have a name until then either.

It all began with loneliness and now it finds shape in community.

There’s more to this ride — and me — than you see on this page.

Text that reads 'my story' with a fingerprint graphic to the right.

I bring the RIPPLE Practice™ into rooms.

For teams, book clubs, community groups, milestone gatherings.

90 minutes. Paint, paper, and what happens when people stop performing.

The RIPPLE Experience: Wholly Human™

People making art or craft projects at a table outdoors, with various art supplies like paint tubes, brushes, and containers scattered on the table.

In Their Words

“I was surprised at how at home I felt even in a space of people I had only just met. There was an ease and peaceful sense of being there to experience something new together. I don’t think that happens a lot in our world.”

-Laura Menezes, the RIPPLE Experience repeat attendee

“A group of relative strangers from around the world can come together in the span of one hour and feel safe, seen, heard, and held.”

— Cole Johnson, Be with Mansi attendee, multiple sessions

“It surprises me that I feel a sense of connection with those who gather. I know their voices and a bit about their lives, which feels meaningful.”

— Melissa Maxwell-Doherty, Inside the Studio member
