Relying purely on your lived experience can be both exhausting (for you) and haphazard (for your practice).
Our role at Shapes and Sounds is to support you to feel confident and resourced in supporting the mental health needs of the Asian community. Here, you'll feel validated in your intersectional experiences, build greater structure and sustainability in your work, and be continually supported by our welcoming practitioner community.
Facilitator: Shapes and Sounds founder, Asami Koike, RMT.
