Finding Wellbeing through Art Therapy
Whether it is an experience of living with a disability, chronic illness, mental illness, having lived through a trauma, or other experience, Alana offers an open and validating space, open to all abilities and ages. Alana helps you to engage in a creative process where you can explore your experiences, find your inner-strengths and navigate through "stuck" emotions to find your way towards inner-wellbeing.
Alana Stewart is an Art Therapist who founded Finding Wellbeing Art Therapy & Counselling. Her vision is to give people who have been made to feel "different" a safe space where they can process their experiences, access their unique inner-wisdom and feel empowered to be who they really are meant to be.
Too often people with experiences of being "different" are made to feel labelled and stigmatized. The unique knowledge that comes from having a different experience is also often unheard and undervalued.
