My name is Rasha Gad, a certified Expressive Arts Therapist and a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC 2444) offering services in Vancouver and Salt Spring Island.I am a lover of people, arts, food, home, dance, music and simple joys of life.

 

Growing up, there was always something delicious cooking in the kitchen, music playing in the background, beautiful architecture and art that dates back to thousands of years surrounds me. Blue skies, hot weather and warm hearts, abundance of emotions and a gush of passion that gave me nothing but a joy for living. I embraced these passions without realizing it, going through life and living in different places across the globe.

​

Before studying Expressive Arts Therapy, I studied science and was influenced by the arts; worked with crafts, home décor, studied dance/movement and delved into music. People and their stories were always at the core of whatever I did.In my journey, I was blessed with two beautiful daughters and an opportunity to witness and be part of another rich experience of life as a mother with all what it brings of unconditional love, fear, trust and growth.​

​

Like everyone, I have had my share of suffering and life changing events and I know through experience how hard that is at times to find motivation and joy in life and living.   

​​

My practice in Expressive Arts Therapy, reflects my personal process going from Creativity to Therapy. An opportunity to continue to grow and help others dive into their deeper self, find resources from one’s own life experience and move through transitions feeling empowered, grounded, strengthening the ties in relationships with self and others; and most importantly enjoying the essence of life no matter where we are and what we do.

 

I look forward to meeting you!​​
