Catana Malinowski
Your Transformational Art & Wellness Strategist!
A New Perspective was originally founded to help individuals identify and overcome the emotional and psychological blocks created by trauma. Through compassionate guidance and my Transformational Art process, I have helped people gain new insight, reconnect with their inner strength, and move toward lives shaped by hope rather than past experiences.
Following my own diagnosis of an extremely rare lung cancer, my mission evolved. While the foundation of A New Perspective remains rooted in transformation and empowerment, its focus has expanded to serve individuals facing cancer and rare disease diagnoses, as well as those who love and support them.
I understand firsthand that healing extends beyond medical treatment. It also involves finding hope, purpose, self-expression, and the courage to believe that your story is still unfolding.
Through encouragement, education, compassionate support, and my Transformational Art process, I help individuals discover that a diagnosis does not define who they are or what their future can become. Transformational art is not about artistic ability; it is about giving shape to emotions, uncovering resilience, and creating space for healing, reflection, and renewed possibility.
Whether you are newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, living with a rare disease, in remission, or caring for someone you love, A New Perspective offers a welcoming environment where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we explore ways to move beyond fear, reconnect with hope, and embrace the life that still lies ahead.
Cancer or a rare disease may become part of your story, but it does not have to become the final chapter. Every day presents an opportunity to create meaning, discover joy, and continue writing your story with courage, purpose, and intention.
When awareness is chosen, empowerment is possible.
TESTIMONIALS
"My program with Catana couldn’t have come at a more timely point in my life. I had done little or no trauma work and yet I knew I'd had many traumas in my life. Going through this process helped me to recognize them and see the underlying Shadow self that needed to learn to stand up for herself and have boundaries and
communicate... I am very grateful to have identified what I was doing to myself and be free of it at least, aware of it, so I can make another choice that is in my best interests."

"...Before I began the 90 day transformational art program I was a bundle of nervous energy and feeling extremely and emotionally raw...And now that I've completed the 90 day transformational art program I am living the life my soul intended."
Melissa Brakstad / California
"2nd time through Catana's class and "sort" of thought I "knew what would be coming up for healing. And while part of it was the same, I was surprised that engaging in the art component (not an artist at ALL here) brought up a whole new (and very intertwined) connection ( hadn't even been aware of. For the first time, I feel like I've opened into real release and healing space with my particular issue that has been a part of a negative pattern since my birth almost 58 years ago. Talk about life changing!!! Take the class...it's worth investing in yourself so you can become who you are meant to be, express as your divine nature (whatever that means to you), experience your infinite potential day-to-day, and live fully in the Peace, Joy, and Happiness that is your birthright!!"
