Free Bird Art Therapy & Somatics

Supporting creativity, connection and change

Hello! My name is Paloma Callo (D-KATI, RCAT Qualifying)

Free Bird Art Therapy and Somatics is my offering of therapeutic support. My practice is informed by relational, neurodevelopmental, feminist, trauma-informed theories and by body-based strategies. I believe that ease, peace, and compassion are available to all people.

My intention is to facilitate the expansion of your connection to yourself and to the world. I offer a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship in which to explore emotions, sensations, life changes, grief, and traumas.

Focused, intentional time in therapy helps gather us into embodied transformation. To learn more about what art therapy is and the somatic approaches I am trained in please click here.

Grounding and Land Acknowledgement

I was born on and have lived the majority of my life on unceded lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ territory on the south island. Now I reside in  xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ territory on the coastal mainland.

The physicality of this environment; the elements and creatures; the ancestors alive here; the sorrow of ongoing desecration; and stewardship of the land have all formed who I am. Non-human kin are not so different from me.

I am grateful to belong here and acknowledge the inherent belonging of all beings on earth.
May we find refuge wherever we are.
