Centre of the Heart

Centre of the Heart, run by Charmaine Husum DKATI, RTC, CT, is a distinguished Art Therapy and Counselling practice located on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, offering both in-person and online services regionally and internationally. Charmaine, an accomplished Art Therapist, Kundalini Yoga teacher, and an artist, emphasizes a personalized healing approach through art psychotherapy, mindfulness, and body-focused techniques. Her practice is deeply rooted in a humanistic and feminist lens, specializing in addressing trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Addiction, and other mental health challenges. Moreover, she extends her expertise as an integration specialist for individuals seeking support post-psychedelic or plant medicine journeys, employing art therapy, meditation, and transpersonal counselling.

Charmaine's work is a testament to her belief in the transformative power of art and creativity in healing. With a career that melds creativity, hard work, and social justice since 1995, she has transitioned from a scenographer in feature films to a compassionate therapist, aiding clients in navigating their healing journey through art, mindfulness practices, and body-centered awareness. Her current explorations dive into neuroplasticity, neuroscience, epigenetics, psychedelic integration, and intergenerational trauma, and she's in the process of authoring a book alongside offering online courses and programs on these themes. The Centre of the Heart stands as a sanctuary of healing, embodying a blend of therapeutic artistry and scientific inquiry, guiding individuals towards a path of self-discovery and healing.
