The Mindful Oasis would like to welcome Ann Wimsae to the family of exceptional workshop providers .

Ann Wimsae is an expressive arts therapist with roots in Saint Paul, MN. She is a weaver, singing saw musician, and passionate imperfectionist. Ann has guided people of all ages through creative experiences since her days as a craft director at Holden Village and Camp Nawakwa. Now she uses expressive arts in her work as a mental health counselor, where she witnesses how therapeutic creativity can transform people's self image, relationships, and quality of life. Ann knows everyone has strengths and creativity inside of them, and she's passionate about helping people access these resources!

Expressive arts therapy is under the creative therapies umbrella along with art therapy, dance/movement therapy, drama therapy, music therapy, and others. While expressive arts therapy shares much in common with these other therapies, it focuses on the creative process that underlies all of them. Expressive arts therapy meets people wherever creativity shows up in their life. This might look like painting a picture or writing a song, and it could just as easily be gardening, cooking, storytelling. Creative arts is deeply personal. You already have everything you need, and expressive arts is about bringing attention to the playful, curious, meaning-making parts of ourselves that tend to get pushed aside in daily life. If you are a human, you are creative, and we will find out together !

The Wellness Center of The Mindful Oasis in Chambersburg wouldn't be where we are without this amazing person helping behind the scenes, but she's not staying there anymore. Vanessa Stepler, M.Ed., LAPC, Death Doula is officially the co-partner of the wellness center for The Mindful Oasis. She will continue to be a full-time clinician there but will also be working with our vendors, events, and workshops to create extraordinary experiences for the community. Vanessa is also the hard work and brains behind much of our Facebook marketing lately which has led to an outstanding growth since November '25. Vanessa has brought a passion to her work as a therapist but also to her interest and support for her community. We have already reached people and milestones we didn't expect quite yet in this process because of Vanessa and the amazing community around us. So, although Vanessa works in the quiet back office a lot, begin looking for her impact and beautiful soul around the wellness center and community more often.
