ARTFUN RX is a unique program that combines creativity and wellness practices to generate a positive impact on brain function and mental health.

ARTFUN RX celebrates individuality and provides personal comfort and “normalcy” while evolving and healing. ARTFUN RX opens the door for young people to express themselves using ART+FUN+BODY+MIND and delivers an innovative approach to total health.

Our platform celebrates the challenges in life by providing tools to minimize shame, self-doubt, fear, and negativity.

what is ARTFUN RX?

ARTFUN RX’s goal is to help you live your best life, turn your fantasies into reality, elevate your mood and find positivity through virtual comfort, even in the midst of adversity. ARTFUN RX recognizes how young people are affected by daily challenges, health journeys, and world events, which can lead to anxiety, fear, and helplessness.

OUR MISSION

Optimizing mental health via art + fun + Body + MIND

Mental health challenges affect many young people, which can impact their education, physical health, and social life. ARTFUN RX teaches techniques to strengthen the brain-body connection and create positive habits, behaviors, and emotional responses for better mental and physical health.

Brain Retraining & Rewiring

Using creativity paired with proven brain retraining & rewiring techniques, students can:

• Strengthen the brain’s limbic system, which contains the emotional response and regulation centers.

• Renew the nervous system’s neural pathways, which transmit signals between different parts of the brain and body.

• Develop cognition, emotional regulation, motor control, and sensory perception.

• Unlearn negative thought patterns and enhance neuroplasticity.

Tools for life

Tools for life’s challenges are not commonly taught to young people. It can take a lifetime to find self-help and self-care techniques. Unfortunately, people suffer for too long without solutions and can be paralyzed by fear or shame. ARTFUN RX is dedicated to providing life tools that are readily available, cost effective, and evidence based. Our mission is to prevent lifelong suffering and stagnation, and to promote positive mental and physical health.

MORE about shanna

Founder of ARTFUN RX

Shanna Israel is an Entrepreneur, Creative Director, Artist, and Producer who has worked with brands ranging from Nike to Madonna. Her work has been featured in People Magazine, Modern Luxury, ESPN, and ABC. She’s also a “professional patient” who has seen more than a hundred MDs and medical practitioners over two decades due to complex medical conditions.

Being an artist, Shanna turned to art and mind-body techniques for healing and therapy. She learned through her extensive journey that the vital road to health requires seeking knowledge, taking time to heal, and prioritizing finances to create a healthy lifestyle. She has seen that incorrect or delayed diagnoses can cause fear and unresolved trauma, which can affect overall health and well-being and paralyze a life in various ways.

To survive and thrive, along with professional medical guidance, one has to be their own health advocate, researcher, and cheerleader. Shanna developed ARTFUN RX to provide a place with fun, effective solutions that can help people learn better ways to navigate life’s adversities.

Shanna’s life story combining health, creativity, innovation, and art is the basis of ARTFUN RX, a platform designed to support those looking for hope, joy, fun, and optimal health.
