About Me
My name is Salima Andany, BSW, EXAT.
Artist, Expressive Arts Therapist, Facilitator. My pronouns are she/her.
My personal experience of trauma, Fibromyalgia and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), taught me the value of art and how to use art to heal, manage chronic pain, build resilience and cope with life's challenges. I believe once you've survived the hardest thing, whatever that is in your life, you have this weird confidence, a superpower that you can survive anything. My love for creativity and psychology motivates me to support others on their transformative therapeutic journey.
THERE'S A MYTH THAT
CREATIVITY IS SOMETHING
YOU HAVE TO BE BORN WITH.
THIS ISN'T THE CASE. ANYONE
CAN BE CREATIVE
