Coco Huang (she/her) is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) and Art Therapist passionate about supporting individuals in exploring their overall well-being—encompassing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health—through the creative process in safe, nurturing environments.
Her healing approach is both body-based and arts-based, using a bottom-up method that begins with the physical body. By focusing on movement, breath, art, and sensory experiences, Coco helps participants calm their nervous systems and build a strong foundation of safety and regulation. Once grounded, individuals can more easily process emotions, shift thought patterns, and foster meaningful personal growth.
Coco deeply believes in the power of creativity to heal and transform. Through somatic practices and creative expression, she supports people in cultivating self-worth and reconnecting with their inner strength—guiding them toward their own unique path to healing.
The Art and Mindfulness Experience Series at CICA Vancouver is designed to explore the profound connection between artistic expression and mindfulness. Rooted in the belief that art is a powerful medium for healing and self-discovery, this series invites participants to engage in reflective and grounding practices through creative expression.
Art, in its many forms, offers a pathway to mindfulness by encouraging presence, introspection, and emotional release. Whether through painting, sculpture, movement, or sound, the act of creating becomes a meditative process that fosters deep awareness and healing. Our series harnesses this transformative power of art to create accessible spaces for mindfulness that center BIPOC, women, and queer communities.
Facilitated by artists and mindfulness practitioners from these communities, each experience is designed to hold space for collective healing and cultural storytelling. This platform not only nurtures personal well-being but also elevates the work of marginalized practitioners, providing them with visibility and opportunities within Vancouver’s art and wellness landscapes.
