ABOUT ALISON

Connecting people back to themselves, and teams to each other.

Alison is a Lead Facilitator at SSC, designing and co-developing programs that help individuals and organizations build healthier, more resilient workplaces through creative and embodied approaches.

Her background in Indigenous Studies and Fine Arts from Nipissing University, together with professional art therapy training from the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute, shapes sessions on coping skills, focus, communication and workplace relationships.

Drawing on a lifelong connection to art and her own mental health journey, she sees creative expression as a tool for resilience and self-regulation, and weaves art-based practice into conversations about psychological safety, team connection and emotional wellbeing.

Through collaborative, tailored facilitation, she helps carry out SSC’s mission of connecting people back to themselves, and teams to each other.
