WHEAT Art Therapy graduate, Therapist and owner of Deep Focus Art Therapy
“How do you enter a story if you don't have a narrative that you've processed, and can speak with words? That’s when it becomes about art therapy. It is about images and sounds and music, and could go into drama, movement, poetry. It's just so broad, and now we have film and video making. We start by playing because that's where the energy is, and then we can ground it with understanding, learning and sharing.”

WHEAT Expressive Arts Therapy graduate, Psychosocial Oncology Clinician at CancerCare Manitoba, M.Ed.
“It is rooted in the expressive process and the aesthetic response, a movement that comes from a place that is not in the head, it's in the heart. It can even be soul work, so it is about identity, holistic identity.”
