Hello and welcome to the Fat Moon podcast. My name's Kirsty and I'm the founder of Greene Moon Studios, an art therapy and yoga studio. I thought to share a little bit about myself and the inspiration for this podcast. I'm an art therapist working with adults in an acute mental health facility here in Melbourne, Australia. Prior to completing my art therapy masters, I worked as a nurse and have been nursing for over 15 years. in areas such as acquired brain injury, palliative care, forensic community, and homelessness. I've also been interested in the yoga philosophy for over 20 years and I studied yin yoga 10 years ago. I've been leading classes, workshops, and retreats here in Melbourne, Argentina, and Spain. I currently run a peer supervision group as well as a group art therapy for Art Therapist's container. And what I notice is when therapists are together, they're always curious about each other's pathways and studies, as well as their current workplaces, client populations, and their practices and approaches. This realization birthed the Fat Moon podcast, and I wanted to create a platform for therapists to hear about each other's experiences from around the globe. I use the term creative therapists in the platform because it's open to all. It includes art therapists, music therapists, drama therapists, dance therapists, and more. It's my hope that we can inspire and educate each other through conversation. I'm very excited to engage with you all and I would appreciate any recommendations of creative therapists, or therapists that I can interview. And you can reach me at [email protected]. I'm currently funding this project. So if you feel like you have the capacity to support me, you can subscribe via Patreon, additionally, I've set up a subscription for people to be able to view the interviews on YouTube. So if you enjoy engaging visually, it's $20 a month, and any support is really appreciated. You can also support the show by giving it a like or a review on whichever platform you engage with it.
