About our host, Tisha Summers:

Shekoli, my name is Tisha Summers and I am the owner and
creator of Heal Through Love Art Therapy. I am from Oneida
Nation of the Thames and Wasauksing First Nation. I am
wolf clan and my spirit name is Grey Bear Woman. I am an
art therapist and have been working with children, youth
and families for over 20 years in a variety of different
capacities. I believe through healing you will begin to love
yourself unconditionally. I created this art therapy business
because I wanted to help and support First Nation, Metis
and Inuit children, youth and families. I have many different
services from one on one art therapy, workshops, service
contracts (schools, organizations, communities), team
building, motivational speaking, retreats, and train the
trainer programs.

I have struggled personally with my mental health and art
was my salvation. I utilized art to save my life, express my
emotions and heal myself. Art is a very powerful tool and as
Indigenous people we have used art to express ourselves for
centuries.

I want to break the stigma of mental health within
Indigenous communities and that It’s okay to reach out for
help. I want to encourage people to express themselves, to
love and honor themselves for who they are for both their
light and darkness. I want to help people realize that they
are powerful!
