“… The world needs more POSITIVE ENERGY - and right now, more so than ever before. Helen Kagan's vibrant, life affirming energy art is the perfect antidote to the endless negativity, stress and discord we are being bombarded with. I love the concept of Wearable HealingArts, to protect and nourish our living energy bodies, and to carry positive energy into your environment, wherever you go! With a big round of applause and lots of love.
“… FANTASTIC! Absolutely love your HealingArts!! That's the sort of art we should have in our public spaces and government offices instead of insanity and misery!!!
“… It's funny but the whole fashion industry is built on this effect that clothes have on the wearer's energy body. And nobody knows this, and they all keep on "looking" in the mirror when it is actually all about ENERGY.
Absolutely love your Wearable HealingArts!!! And it’s about time too! YAY to Wearable energy art! It's also a powerful protection for the energy body - never more important than in this day and age!

Helen - having a piece of your magical work, with your signature, is the most important part. I’m SO excited for this, and SO grateful for your openness, generosity, and taking the time for me and understanding what I really want!
Helen, your “Galaxies” artwork on my special place on the wall looks so perfect I could cry!
I can’t thank you enough.

“… We wanted to center our home around an art piece that spoke to the new beginning we were feeling in our lives and provided a vibrant and exciting presence, changing the aura of our home. We searched countless art online and were fortunate to find your work. I never thought about the presence of art as a way to heal, but visually absorbing your work made us feel alive, like we could finally move on. I agree with your comment about “finding your voice”. The two paintings we choose take us to a new beginning and a wonderfully peaceful place. We also enjoy the vibrant colors, how they reach out and pull you in. “City Pulse” is our first choice. We love the excitement this painting generates, and how you can look at it for hours.
“…. Oh Helen, your email almost brought my wife and I to tears. We are humbled by your generosity and so very grateful. Your beautiful artwork, City Pulse, will become the centerpiece of our home, and create a new life-force. We are speechless with excitement!
“… Helen, your artworks are amazing, and so beautiful! “City Pulse” has created a new energy, a wonderful calmness, a healing, all at the same time. It is now the centerpiece of our home, and we are basing the color palette for the entire first floor off the painting. It has brought so much joy to our home. It has changed our lives. Thank you!
“… Dr. Helen Kagan has been someone I can trust to remove the wrong energy with a few suggestions and have me, who has been barreled over with serious physical pain, standing up and walking alright.
She has healed me more than once by purely suggestion so it seems, so I unabashedly can admit Dr. Kagan is a bonafide healer. It was before I witnessed her breathtaking artwork that I learned of her abilities to heal and the techniques she has created with her artwork have been emotionally uplifting as well. I have witnessed the responses and reactions of many people before her colorful art and know there is a high vibrational frequency and parasympathetic experience one undergoes while viewing her unique “HealingArts” work.
Dr. Kagan has touched many with her work and she has profoundly touched me.
“… Her unique hands heal that I can attest to, as well as, her unique art. Check out her art websites and experience this yourself! Helen's competence has helped me keeping a serious injury's pain at bay, and standing before Helen's artwork has brought me hours of joy, to say the least. Helen quite accurately exposes the energy fields, and especially, the very positive, gracious healing energy which she carries."

“… The very first time I encountered Helen Kagan's work I was very moved. I was fortunate enough to see many pieces together at the same time. Each piece had its own intrigue. As I began to spend time gazing into a few specific pieces, I truly felt emotions bubbling up without intellectually knowing why. There was an energy that kept me involved in certain pieces. As a spiritual seeker, I believe being open to let the work speak to me allowed me to feel the energy and move me to tears at one point.
Helen's ability to paint with intention to heal seems to transfer into her artwork. I certainly feel healing energy within her work and hope many more people have the opportunity to spend time with Helen's energetic light.”

“… It is my pleasure to endorse Dr. Helen Kagan for her courage and competency as a unique healing artist who is integrating healing and art as her service to the World.
She has truly walked the walk and understands through her personal challenges and her healing practice how to effectively address the insidious “vicious cycles” of PTSD and other mental health conditions.
With her vast knowledge, deep understanding, empathy, and compassion she is able to use her creative energy to break into the cycle of distress, her own as well as many people she’s helped. Her contributions to the study of understanding and healing trauma and PTSD are vital, and I believe Dr. Kagan is one of the leaders in the field with her credentials and healing experience and techniques.
As an art gallery owner, I personally saw Helen use her powerful skills as a healer and artist to assist people with need for healing. It has always been very special to exhibit the vibrant work of Dr. Kagan, and to witness how viewers respond to it. Each new piece of her “HealingArts” is a journey of evocative colors, a style that is authentic, powerful, and coming from the soul. It is easy to get lost in her art since the energy of her works jump off the canvas and stir one's spirit. Her life experiences mix with the power of her colors and are transformational. If you have not had the gift of meeting the artist and viewing her work, you have missed a talent that will impact the art world.
Kudos to Helen!

"... Helen Kagan's "Healing Arts" are magnificent! They are some of the warmest, most colorful, and spiritually deep works I have ever seen. You are immediately drawn in.

“… Helen, after receiving your beautiful healing art and "experiencing" it for a couple weeks, I feel compelled to write you a thank you note! They give me joy and good energy while I work and sleep; and although I'm not sure how it works, I swear I feel good and rested when I wake in the morning and I used to ache and feel exhausted.
Simply put, I adore your Healing Arts and will definitely be back for more!”

“…. Helen. Your ”Galaxies In Love” giclee represents where we have come (through the difficult time, in a place where we are now at peace and can appreciate art) and the intention of where we want to go. It feels “right” and I just love to have the piece live to feel the energy of it and the love you put into it. When I see it, I feel like I’m drawn into it and wrapped in a banket – it’s a perfect representation of where we want to be. And, your willingness to cut your costs, stay connected all this time, and work with me, makes it all the more perfect as *YOU* represent the type of special people we want to bring in and stay in our lives. 😊
“… Helen! Kirk and I just opened the giclee and I have to say I’m so in love! It’s perfect!! The colors, the size, and your personal touch is just soooo perfect! I don’t know how else to describe it!! I can’t wait for this to hang where I see it multiple times a day! I can’t thank you enough for all your efforts to work with me and make this such a wonderful experience. I will treasure this forever 😊
With gratitude and love,
“… For the past several years, I have curated a 140,000+ sq. ft. office and am constantly going to galleries to find new artists. When I first saw Helen Kagan’s artwork, it was as though the colors literally moved and filled my entire view. This, I thought, is what the world needs now.
Helen’s work is an experience. Her expressive brush strokes and explosion of color builds an emotional connection between the viewer and the painting itself. Her most recent series are completely enthralling and vibrant. She creates an almost immersive art experience with texture, cooling and warming colors, acrylic movements, sacred geometry, and many other things only known to her creative genius.
Her work is not only eye catching, but heart catching. What makes Helen most interesting is her persistence to her mission: to bring color, life, and happiness to a world that can often feel colorless and cold. Her art is a celebration of life, inspiring us all to be more positive and to heal.
Helen is a pleasure to work with, she’s completely dedicated to her craft, and one of the most motivated individuals I have been lucky enough to know. I only hope I can one day match her determination and drive.

“… I have been an International Business Consultant for many years, but I’ve always had a deep admiration and appreciation of art, creativity and artistic expression. I have seen Helen’s “HealingArts” in various Shows, Art Magazines and Catalogs, and more personally, in her studio.
When Helen paints she expresses her love for humanity. She has this gift. I feel that her art truly captures and expresses healing with every stroke of her brush. I know that Helen’s deepest desire and passion is to share and harness positive energy to every person that has the pleasure and privilege to “experience” her art.
I believe that when people look at and study her work they can receive such a blessing of healing! They can undoubtedly experience a feeling of love and peace as I do every time when I look at her paintings.
I am truly fascinated by Helen’s “Healing Art” and believe the World needs this form of art as many people need to be set free of their struggles and know they do have hope. I see her art as a magical powerful way to have your hopes and dreams come alive as your merely glance and experience her art’s positive energy and spiritual messages speaking to your very soul.
Helen’s art is just so beautiful, alive, colorful, full of energy and simply, breathtaking.
I believe her art needs to be throughout the world and I highly recommend her world
of “healing art” to everyone.

“… Helen Kagan is an artist. Pure and simple…or not so simple. She is everything a deep-thinking sophisticated emotional woman from Russia with multiple degrees and too much talent is. She is complex and sensitive and very talented. She is a true healer - hands on. She channels amazing energy that heals and aligns physical ailments. She worked on both, me, and on my husband, and we are not novices at receiving healing energies. Her healing is physical and energetic and very special. Like she is. Helen is a passionate, vibrant, and unforgettable talent, healer, artist, and an amazing friend.”

“... I had published Helen’s work in many issues of my Art & Beyond Magazine, she has her online Gallery on the www.artandbeyondpublications.com, I presented her work at the International Art Fairs @ ArtBasel Miami, and I follow the success of her art online and in-person.
Helen’s “HealingArts” work is unique – it is eye catching from faraway due to its vibrant colors and an extreme power radiating from the paintings, magnetizing you, moving you, making you to get closer and breeze the same air with the artist who invites you to her world of healing.
I agree with Dr. Kagan’s statement about the healing power of art. Yes, Art - it is a real substance that we can see, feel, experience, enjoy, and absorb. Helen is not only creating her powerful HealingArts, but her unique art is helping others to feel better, to get healthier, to heal - and that is her Life PURPOSE.”

“... I am a Reiki Master Energy Healer. When I first was introduced to Helen she had so many triggers through her PTSD and multiple traumatic situations in her life that when we were about to have our first session, she was unable to even receive the Reiki energies, she was literally a “MESS”. Over the years, with her knowledge of many healing modalities and working with them along with continuing creating her unique “HealingArt” infused with healing energies, she was able to stabilize herself through self-healing and self-care, to be able to receive Reiki energies – now with “EASE”!
I have been measuring the vibrational frequencies of her “HealingArts” work, both originals, reproductions, and her new creations in Wearable HealingArts - with Dowsing tools (Esoteric Technology). In accordance with Reiki energy healing principles, high frequencies are healing, and low frequencies can cause illnesses. And Helen’s art measures pretty high frequency!
Helen’s dedication to the healing process, perseverance, her beliefs in healing power of art, and her own unique creation “HealingArts”, and now Wearable HealingArts - can help many in search of discovering and embracing a Healer within.

“… I celebrate Helen’s courage in action. Someone who does not allow her past to define her future. Someone who will do whatever it takes to heal pain and live with grace and ease to celebrate life.
Helen is one of the kindest, loving, creative, and courageous people I know. She communicates deep and powerful messages through her “HealingArts”. Her courage is inspiring and leaves one saying, "If she can do it so can I". She models for others how to be on a healing journey while creating, and inspiring others to heal all at the same time.
I love the way I feel wearing her Wearable HealingArts™ line. I love the way I feel when working in the presence of her miraculous and inspiring paintings hanging in my workspace. Helen is a big Soul with a big creative expression. I believe she is here to provide big healing opportunities to the World through her HealingArts work. I for one am sold. “

“... Helen’s story is one of deep pain and sadness; and it’s also a story of incredible courage, healing, and resilience.
As a public health professional, I believe that Helen’s “HealingArts” help bridge the gap between the worlds of art and healthcare. Art is a means of expression; a way for an artist to evoke emotion and communicate messages to those listening to or viewing a piece. We all know that art is a force that can shape health; that can reduce stress, pain, and anxiety for hospitalized patients. I can envision the brilliant colors of Helen’s HealingArts filling sterile walls of hospitals, clinics, shelters, state offices, federal offices – anywhere people in need can be found - infusing everyone who views her pieces with their positive, healing energy.
I can imagine walking down the street, seeing someone wearing a piece of her Wearable HealingArts™ collection, and feeling the healing energy emanating.
What an amazing world it will be as she helps people shift from MESS to EASE!
Браво, Helen.

“… I have been following Helen’s progress for decades. Her powerful creative energy, her passion for art and substantial artistic accomplishments, her service-oriented vision of art, her formal education (PhD in Science, MS in Psychology, and MSW), her rich and diverse life and work experience in Russia and the USA, her enthusiasm and determination to realize her dream of delivering healing through the arts – all this makes Helen stand out as a special and unique artist and person.
One of the most peculiar and valuable qualities of Helen’s art is her ability to convey and overpoweringly instill a sense of balance, peace, and harmony. Dr. Kagan provides a convincing scientific explanation of such therapeutic effects caused by particular frequencies of color vibrations combined with the positive energy her artwork is imbued with.
Helen’s portfolio is very impressive – in quality, quantity, and variety. Her artwork is attractive, positive, joyful, and deeply inspiring, both on the intellectual and emotional levels. It encourages and nourishes curiosity, imagination, associations, and ideas resonating with the viewer and thus bringing forth his/her own creativity.

“… I greatly admire Helen's perseverance in pursuing the arts from her healing perspective, which is a very challenging and demanding path. She is both a healer and an artist, a rare combination. She is without a doubt a prolific painter, a someone who exposes her emotions throughout her works which are universal, and an eternal source of well being.
The manner in which Helen goes about healing has taught me she is able to do so in a variety of forms, as in her latest invention WearableHealingArts – a unique blend of art, healing, design and fashion.
The power and the energy her art exudes is as good as taking medicine which we would identify the same. It’s healing. How her work moves you, if you peruse it long enough it gently invades you, either inviting you somewhere or deeper within yourself.
Helen quite accurately exposes the energy fields, and especially, the very positive, gracious energy which she carries, and shares with her art.”

“… I have known Helen for many years as a highly skilled clinician whose expertise and professionalism could only rival her clinical zeal and devotion. She was in a business of saving lives. Her ideas and creativity always amazed me. She was constantly exploring new ways of reaching out to the most traumatized clients while looking for new non-traditional innovative approaches.
Helen is a survivor of serious traumas herself, living with a complex PTSD. Dealing with her own life shattering experiences made her deeply attuned to human suffering, as well as inspired and mobilized her to looking for and creating new pathways to healing. She had found her true calling: creating art that heals – pioneering in doing that with her unique brand “HealingArts”.
I believe Dr. Kagan’s artworks truly promote healing. As an artist, Helen creates an intriguing powerful meaningful and unique art. As a scientist, she knows and employs the vibrational frequencies of colors that can positively impact a person’s body-mind-spirit. As a holistic therapist, her art reaches into your heart, gives you hope and lessens the pain, hurts and wounds freeing you into happiness and tranquility. All that by simply looking at and/or wearing her beautiful healing creations, or rather as she says – “experiencing them”.
As Helen states, it is her Vision, Mission, and Purpose to bring her unique “HealingArts” to the HealthCare. Now she’s doing this by developing her Wearable HealingArts.

"... Helen’s unique art translates the tunes of hope into a universal language of mind-blowing colors and vivid imagery. The deep, multi-layered meaning of each piece is conveyed through the dense texture and intense polyphony of close and contrasting values that releases a floating, healing aura we take with us as we walk away. The light as the apex of Helen's art is so strong that it reminds us of the sunshine that breaks through the closed window of our visions and compels us to finally open it... for self-healing and self-discovery.”

Working with Helen was a beautiful experience. Her passion for healing through art is evident in every piece, and her Wearable HealingArts™ is now my favorite way to carry peace and positivity with me throughout the day.
HealingArtsTM exceeded all our expectations when we installed it in our wellness center. Not only is it visually stunning, but it genuinely impacts our clients' mood and creates a space of calm and comfort.
Helen’s work is truly transformative. As someone who struggles with anxiety, I found her art gives me a focal point for meditation and mindfulness. Her commitment to creating art that heals is felt in every piece. I can't recommend her enough!
I purchased one of Helen’s paintings for my home, and it has become a source of daily inspiration. The colors, textures, and energy in her work are unlike anything I’ve experienced—it's like having a healing presence right on my wall.
Helen’s HealingArts™ brings a unique sense of peace and positivity into any room. The artwork has transformed our clinic's waiting area; patients frequently comment on how the art helps them feel calmer and more centered before their sessions.
