Heather is an empathetic artist who models her passion for health and art in her day to day life as well as in her care for her clients. I highly recommend her Art Therapy program.

Heather is an amazing therapist. I finished my 4 art therapy sessions with her and I feel so much better, my mind is now more focused on positive things that ground me. The sessions were very interesting as you learn a lot about yourself through art. Thank you Heather ????????

I heard about Heather from a friend and joined her Art Therapy group soon after. It was a very pleasant, enjoyable, helpful and supportive environment. Heather actively listened and heard what you had to shear and offered effective suggestions. She is real and down to earth. She is amazing! All her students and those that attended her workshops would agree. Thank you Heather. N

Having therapy with Heather has honestly changed my life so much in just a few sessions. I went from being a long time chronic anxiety sufferer to having only intermittent anxiety in just over a month. The coping skills and thought processes I’ve learned are priceless and I’m so much happier now. I’m not much of an artist, but through art therapy I have learned how therapeutic, grounding and healing art is. I highly recommend Art Therapy Guelph!

Heather is a tremendous therapist and wonderful artist. Heather has helped me work through so much helping me live my life fuller and with less fear. Before starting art therapy I had lost interest in most of my hobbies and interests. Now I am back to being creative and enjoying hobbies I once loved.

I recently completed 4 virtual group sessions in art therapy with Heather, exploring the Wise crone archetype , with several other women all in similar age group. I enjoyed this new exploration through art ???? as I've never considered myself as having any ability and it didn't matter. The explorations were guided and our small group bonded thru the process a real gift to meet these wonderful women. I found it to be a valuable , thought provoking process at this stage in my life and allowed for a deeper understanding. I would highly recommended as Heather is a wise and compassionate therapist. Thankyou Heather!

I did art therapy with Heather and it was a wonderful & eye opening experience for me. Heather is extremely good with regards to teaching you things about yourself you didn't even know. Through the expression of art I created invaluable stories about my life. She knew my story before I even opened the book. I unknowingly expressed feelings & emotions she had to point out to me which I found absolutely amazing. Heather is patient, kind, educated and really knows what she is doing with her work..her passion. I am so happy I did art therapy and even happier I did it with Heather. I would recommend anyone who is interested to send her a message. You will not regret it...not one bit!! If I could give Heather more stars I would. She is the best teacher :)

I’m enjoying my work/play with Heather in Art Therapy. Gently, kindly and wisely, Heather’s helping me to become un-stuck. She offers a safe environment, sessions over zoom. I feel supported, encouraged, and cared for as I move forward in healing. Bonus, it’s fun. Highly, highly recommend.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Heather over the past year on my journey of healing. Heather's gentle prompts and astute observations led me to some of the largest leaps in healing I've ever experienced. The artwork I created under her guidance was profound and beautiful, revealing and soothing. Though our weekly sessions have ended, I still turn to my creative tools to work through tough days, all thanks to Heather's encouragement and leadership. I would highly recommend Heather as an art therapist, even if you feel you have zero artistic abilities. Through our art together, Heather allowed me view my child self with a completely different lens, which allowed me to sever a number of binding beliefs. Often, while my feelings and experiences were too difficult to put into words, Heather lead me to illustrate them and then helped me to interpret what I had created. It taught me loads about my subconscious mind and child self, all without having to come up with the words. Whether I created in a silent meditative state or I chattered nervously, Heather held space for my emotions and creativity. A wonderful therapist and skilled artist, whether in-person or over video calling.

I highly recommend art therapy with Heather. She's kind, caring and knows the right things to say to help you with the emotions that come up during a session. It's clear she's very passionate about her work. You don't have to be an artist to have Art Therapy, and believe me, I am not an artist. Heather has an enormous amount of art supplies which makes it a little easier to decide what to work with. I couldn't believe what I was able to express during my very first session. Art Therapy with Heather is time well spent. As a bonus, you might get to see some of her beautiful artwork.
