Devorah Hake Brinckerhoff is a professional artist and transformational guide who developed Soul Portraits, a healing methodology that combines artistic expression with spiritual and emotional work to help people transform trauma into empowerment.

A gallery-represented artist with more than 30 years of experience, Devorah discovered that creativity helped her regulate her nervous system, release limiting beliefs, and understand trauma that had been stored in her body. Her artwork revealed emotions and memories that she could not access through words or conscious thought alone.

This experience inspired the Soul Portraits process. Using journals, photographs, letters, mementos, and mixed-media materials, participants symbolically deconstruct their past and reconstruct their experiences into meaningful artwork. The process helps make invisible emotions visible while creating a safe space for healing and self-discovery.

From her home studio in Oregon, Devorah coaches small groups, creates commissioned Soul Portraits, and facilitates virtual and in-person workshops. Her work helps people release old stories, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and rediscover their authentic selves. She is passionate about conversations exploring creativity, spirituality, trauma healing, and personal transformation
