Trauma lives in the body. As such, a body-based healing modality like Art therapy is an incredible resource to heal deeper traumas. Art helps us reconnect with our intuition and subconscious. Amelia Hutchison empowers us to trust ourselves and find ways to nurture our life force of creativity. We are all artists. Whether it’s Excel spreadsheets, embroidery, or even parenting, creativity is different for everyone! Find ways to water those parts of your life, and allow yourself the freedom to create.

Amelia Hutchison is an art therapist and psychotherapist from British Columbia, Canada. She runs an online private practice supporting adults in their mental health through creativity. Amelia also runs weekly open studios on Zoom as well as group and individual art therapy. She is passionate about accessible mental health care.
