All of our work is individual centered, i.e., we take the individual, whether child, teen, or adult, from where they are at, and assist their development. Our focus is holistic, always looking at the whole child or person and guiding individuals to reach their best. Healing and art go hand in hand as the Montefiore Medical Center states, “The healing arts are creative practices that promote healing, wellness, coping and personal change”. Ruhala aims to engage children and adults in creative processes that inspire and motivate health and wellness, be it in performing classes or therapeutic sessions. 

Celina and Mark Ruhala have been co-creating these programs for over twenty years in New York, and more recently in East Lansing. Bringing Broadway experience along with personal growth development and education, Celina and Mark are ever passionate about their work and share great enthusiasm to the people they work with. With a reputation for excellence, they always are growing, expanding, and learning themselves, especially from their students and clients.
