Marge Schneider holding an eagle puppetWelcome! My name is Marge Schneider, and I have over two decades experience working with people of all ages and levels of functioning as an educator, complementary therapist, and spiritual counselor.

I created the first expressive puppetry program for adults in the United States, which was a breakthrough in reaching beyond the barriers of dementia and depression. With puppet in hand I was able to help my clients find their voices and tell their stories. Additionally, I developed a program that helped children and their families cope with the challenges of death and dying and find some inner peace and healing.

I’ve found puppets can help with a wide range of issues. I’ve seen puppets used with great success in challenging cases of dementia, depression, emotional issues in children and teens, end-of-life care, and bereavement. Puppets can help to reach deep expressive places and create heart-to-heart connections regardless of whether you’re a health care professional, caregiver, or helping a loved one.

I want to share my knowledge and expertise with you. I’m available to provide workshops and presentations for your organization or event, as well as private consultations for nursing home residents and family members. Additionally, my book, A Hand in Healing: The Power of Expressive Puppetry is available to inspire and mentor you through the process of creating authentic, heart-to-heart connections.
