Healing and Recovering with Nature

I am an Anthroposophy-influenced Transpersonal Art Therapist who loves life and enjoys watching humans blossom into the best version of themselves. I have experience in one-on-one therapy sessions, group work facilitation and expressive art workshops. I am willing to engage in a genuine relationship with my clients within appropriate therapeutic boundaries. I work with many different client groups including children, teenagers, adults, the elderly and those with special needs.

The word “transpersonal” literally means “beyond the person.” Transpersonal Art Therapy is a holistic approach that focuses on the alignment and well-being of body, soul and spirit. It is a form of therapy that uses art as a language to express our innermost thoughts, feelings and emotions. Art provides a doorway, a gateway or bridge to powerful images hiding in the deep psyche that illuminate the transpersonal encounter. The therapeutic framework has much in common with the humanistic and psychodynamic approach. The therapeutic relationship is central to fostering a client’s mental, physical, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual needs in order to facilitate healing and growth. Transpersonal therapists use a variety of techniques such as art, music, journalling, guided visualisation, meditation and mindfulness practice in order to help clients explore their spiritual self, restore a sense of identity and create meaning in their life.

I facilitate nature art therapy incorporated with shamanism at The Fusion Longhouse, located at the edge of the Malaysian rainforest, near a pristine river amid misty mountains. This is a marvellous place for those who wish to reconnect with Mother Nature and stimulate their twelve senses. Spending time in raw nature, in touch with the living waters of the river, to feel the liquid prana flow all over the body; to walk in the woods, listening to the whispering wind; to breathe consciously and be fully present; tapping into Gaia’s ancient wisdom and the sacredness of life. Rituals hold the secret of healing, activating a sense of wonder and emotional resonance. Conscious interaction with Father Sky, Mother Earth – indeed, all of nature, experienced as animated and ensouled – helps us to rewire our neural circuitry and reclaim our authentic and natural selves. Art has its roots in shamanism which has always been about healing, making whole again what was broken.

The Fusion Longhouse itself offers a warm, secure and nurturing environment for people to experience the therapeutic power of transpersonal artistic expression. Imagery, colour and shape are part of the creative, therapeutic process which helps people to relax, release tensions, reconnect with their soul, and to feel at home in the body again. Our body is indeed a temple, a portal to many different levels of awareness. The therapeutic art-making process helps the individual unblock emotional and energetic resources for deep healing from within. New ways of seeing and feeling, fresh perceptions, inspiring insights and core awareness often arise spontaneously through Transpersonal Art Therapy.
