Meigan Swanson, RTC #4290

I offer therapy beyond words—through the body, creative expression, nervous system awareness, and felt intuition. While talk therapy can be supportive in the healing journey, the body holds wisdom that may be more easily accessed through sensation, image, metaphor, sound, and movement (in addition to talking). 

Our work together focuses on creating a safe, compassionate space to explore what arises without needing to force, fix, or “figure it all out.” Through body awareness, expressive art-making, intuitive sound, movement, and dialogue, we practice ways of being with emotions, patterns, and unresolved parts of ourselves in new ways. Moving at your own pace, this work can support deeper self-trust, emotional insight, nervous system regulation, and a return to a more vibrant, authentic self.

ABOUT ME:

With over 15 years in therapeutic roles and over 20 years working with children and families, I bring a playful, curious, and compassionate energy to all that I do. This background has given me a rich foundation in attachment theory, nervous system regulation, emotional development, and the importance of safe, trusting relationships. I graduated from the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute in 2012 and am a Registered Art Therapist with the Canadian Art Therapy Association, as well as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with ACCT.

At the heart of my work is a deep respect for sensitivity, the wisdom of the body, and the soul’s natural movement toward wholeness. I support others in finding more ease in authentic expression, allowing playfulness, lightheartedness, and creativity to become part of the healing process.

I offer online sessions across Canada, as well as expressive arts workshops, emotional alchemy groups, meditation circles, moon ceremonies, and sensory-based experiences that deepen connection with self, others, the body, and the creative spirit. These workshops are often hosted in Burnaby, BC (as well as online). 

Outside of my practice, I am an avid dancer, nature lover, and serious foodie who finds great pleasure in the simplicity of everyday life.
