About Clancy

Clancy Moonbeam FitzGerald (born on a full moon to back-to-the-lander parents) is a certified Art Therapist, and is in the process of becoming a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor. Clancy is a member of the Canadian Art Therapy Association (CATA).  Clancy is a lifelong  artist, certified Reiki practitioner, and a hypnotist. Clancy is a long-time meditator deeply committed to integrative healing and transformation.

Clancy brings over 15 years of experience facilitating art-based groups for children, and in recent years for adults as well, in Nelson, BC. With professional training in Art Therapy, hypnotherapy, Reiki, and meditation, she weaves together the threads of neuropsychology, metaphysics, eco-art, and intuitive art-making to guide creative healing and personal growth.

As a mother of two (aged 15 and 20), Clancy brings warmth, lived experience, and expertise in attachment theory into every session. Her approach is anti-oppressive, person-centered, and informed by relational neuroscience, offering deep compassion and a curious, kind, and inspiring nature.

Clancy has also explored her own inner work extensively, including breathwork, EFT, family constellations, EMDR, and many other therapeutic and spiritual practices. With over 20 years of personal meditation experience, she believes in the innate strength, wisdom, and creative potential within each person and enjoys guiding others in accessing this inner resource.

She is an artist and the author of two books: a spiritual wellness guidebook for children and a personal memoir, reflecting her dedication to sharing creative and transformative practices with a wider audience.

Clancy creates spaces that are both structured and fluid, where art, movement, and mindfulness support emotional expression, nervous system regulation, and authentic connection.

Her practice, Moonbeam Art Therapy, offers individual and group Art Therapy, creative workshops, expressive process groups, therapeutic circles, and integrative healing sessions. Clancy holds a trauma-informed lens and draws upon a wide range of therapeutic frameworks, including attachment theory, client-centered, cognitive behavioural, play therapy, expressive arts, somatic experiencing, and mindfulness approaches.

This is your sanctuary—no art experience is necessary. Clancy is committed to honoring each individual’s innate wisdom, creating a safe, nurturing space for growth and healing. Together, we will take pause, delve into our inner world, and cultivate the potential for rich transformation, integrating the experiences and cycles of our lives and remembering our wholeness and infinite potentia
