About Me
Hi, I'm Leslie Grover, it's great to meet you!
It's been quite the journey and I am only half way through ....
​
For the past 10 or so years, I always knew I would be working with people to hold space while they learn more about themselves. It started when I was three years old and the neighbourhood kids would take me around the block, while I put on an act making people laugh so we would be rewarded with candies.
​
I have always loved people and my curiosity to know more about what makes you, YOU, has grown over the years.
​
I travelled the world starting out with trips to the US and Mexico, next Japan, then Europe and finally Australia where I lived most of my adult years until my return to Canada in 2018. And, while I loved exploring all the amazing lands and people and cultures, what I came to realise after having two children and a divorce is that I can do anything I want where ever I want, but, that I am also avoiding the one thing I should really be paying attention to - myself. Eventually, I was led to the courses I completed which not only assisted in deepening my understanding of who I AM and my purpose this lifetime, I also learned more about how I can work with others as they move through some big changes and come out better on the other side.
​
I am a mystic, leaving nothing out of bounds, and my curiosity about the unknown is what keeps me going everyday.
​
My recent exciting and amazing experience was the Camino Frances where I completed the 779km pilgrimage both walking and biking across NW Spain. The gifts I received were incredibly rewarding and I came to realise that I have a strength which was far greater than I had ever known, all because of my willingness to know myself more.
​
Life is a journey, and how we experience life is as much part of the mystery as it defines who we are.
Come with me, let's explore!
How I work with You
Welcome to my Creative Arts Therapy practice, where I offer a holistic and expressive approach to help you achieve emotional well-being and personal growth. As an experiential and creative art therapist working multimodally, I combine various therapeutic techniques and modalities to address your unique needs.​
​
With empathy and compassion as the foundation of my practice, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. We will work together to co-create through experiential relating, allowing for a relational and emergent space to be created.
​
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or navigating life transitions, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery. I believe that each individual is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic modalities to honour your distinct strengths and aspirations.​
​
I want to empower you with the tools and insights needed to navigate life's challenges with resilience and clarity. Together, we will uncover new perspectives, develop preferred ways of being, and foster personal growth.​
​
Take the first step towards positive change and reach out to schedule a meet and greet appointment. I look forward to working with you and guiding you towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Medicine Journey & Integration
Working with plant medicines and entheogens to induce an altered state of consciousness to become more aligned with Self and identify any blocks that become known during your journey.
My Intention
Our journeys are often met with obstacles which allow for wisdom to emerge. Like a labyrinth wandering, we meander through, experiencing adversity & joy, a sort of coming inwards, moving through and travelling back outwards. We are the heroes of our own journeys, meeting sages along the way who guide us towards where we are going, gathering wisdom and tools, helping to heal ourselves in this lifetime from past transgressions and future incomings.
​
Understanding modalities, or tools, to help navigate towards our preferred way of being can be fun and rewarding. I am here to hold space as you uncover who you are and how you would like to navigate your inner and outer landscapes. Leaning into the edges, the rewards are remarkable when having a companion to walk along side you, as you surrender deeper into the unfolding.
