Background

Katrina Pennington's work here

Katrina Pennington, Certified Art Therapy Practitioner at Halo Ridge Recovery

Katrina Pennington is a Certified Art Therapy Practitioner and fibre artist who believes creativity is a powerful pathway to healing. Drawing from both her certification and her own lived experience, she creates welcoming, judgment-free spaces where people can reconnect with themselves through art, curiosity, and self-expression.

Using art, her knowledge of psychology, parts work, and nervous system regulation, Katrina gently guides participants in reducing stress, processing emotions, and building resilience. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing happens when we feel safe enough to create, connect, and be seen.

Katrina is passionate about supporting individuals in addiction recovery, those living with chronic pain or illness, and anyone seeking healing to cultivate more ease, joy, and self-compassion. She believes that while our experiences may leave scars, they can also become some of our greatest sources of strength, wisdom, and connection.
