About Marsha Lane Foster:

For 13 years, I've been using my camera as a powerful tool for healing and transformation. What began as my own journey in 2015 to rebuild after surviving domestic violence has evolved into a mission to help other women reclaim their power through my unique blend of Fine Art Photography and Life Coaching.

My signature "Art That Transcends" Personal Coaching Program guides women through co-collaborated conceptual photography sessions with them as the subject. This, together with nervous system regulation based personal coaching, addresses trauma, builds confidence, and facilitates profound personal breakthroughs for my students. The camera creates a safe psychological distance that allows vulnerability while being authentically witnessed—something I've discovered is a powerful healing tool through my projects "The Hostage Project", "Fetal To Free", "My Unraveling" and "Awakening The Divine Feminine".

Why Your Support Matters & What I'm Requesting:

I'm raising funds for an advanced certification in Polyvagal Theory—the scientific framework & missing link for me that explains why my photography-based healing approach works so powerfully with trauma survivors.

This 9-month training with Rose Metcalf (trained by the imminent researcher Stephen Porges' protégé Deb Dana) will give me the credentials and advanced techniques to:

•Reach more women who desperately need trauma-informed healing work

•Offer my program as the high-level therapeutic experience it truly is

•Scale my impact while maintaining the deep, personal transformation my clients experience

What You're Supporting-Your contributions directly fund my professional development so I can:

•Complete this 9 month intensive certification program

•Continue helping women transform their relationship with themselves through art

•Roll out the personal coaching program on time- January 2026

•Change the world-one woman at a time

•Have the space to fully immerse in my certification studies

Every woman who reclaims her power through this work creates ripples that heal families, communities, and future generations. You're not just supporting my advanced education—you're investing in a movement of women rising into their full authentic selves.

This is my calling. This is what I'm built for.

Thank you for being part of this healing journey. Together, we're proving that art truly can transcend trauma and that healing women is good for the entire planet.

Please Read My Artist Statement:

I believe art heals hearts. It’s healed mine and countless others I’ve encountered on my journey.

I believe art saves lives. It’s saved mine and possibly even yours. I strive for my actions to reflect these cornerstones of my practice.

I transmute feelings into photographs. Through planning, visualization, and enacting their mental strongholds, my subjects explore their internal darkness and light. My projects are ultimately about putting broken people back together.

My art practice is socially engaged, focusing on emotional healing through conceptual photography. This healing radiates out concentrically from the models/subjects of my works, to myself, to the observer & patrons and to the collective ultimately serving to heal the world.
