Primary Specialty: My speciality is facilitating creative change, creative expression, cultural diversity, and actualizing potential with children, adolescents, adults, couples, parents, and families. Also experience with emotional eating disorders, post-traumatic stress, loss, grief, and bereavement due to cancer, brain injury, learning disability, and psychosomatic pain. I also facilitate 3 Group Earthworks Workshops in nature which focus on reclaiming your instinctual wildness; magical inner child alongside goddess wisdom; and group couples workshop (see website for more info).
Region: London, On, Canada
Other Specialties: I work in dual practice as a registered Art therapist and Massage therapist; and Biodanza facilitator. I interweave a background in dance, art education, fine art, expressive arts therapies, shamanic studies, cultural studies, art therapy, biodanza, and massage therapy in my facilitation of creative learning and expressive arts therapies in diverse communities.
Notes: The Group Earthworks Workshop approach uses the psychotherapeutic modalities of Clay earthworks, Art therapy, Biodanza dance movement, and Soul retrieval. These expressive arts therapies help you become more aware of your inner self, your energies, your inner drives and emotions. This helps you find "creative love", explore "creative change", and find your "creative purpose" in life, love, work and relationships.
