Emily Pleasance, MA, RP(Q), ExAT
Amália / Emily (she/her) is a community care practitioner, interdisciplinary artist, and Climate-Aware Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Tkaronto/Toronto. Her work centres on tending human–earth relationships through relational, embodied, and reciprocal practice, drawing from ecopsychology, climate psychology, expressive arts, and nature-based approaches.
She is the founder of the Forest Bathing Club, a certified Nature and Forest Therapy guide, and the Ontario Regional Co-Coordinator for the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America. Her work bridges public programs, community art, corporate wellness, and clinical practice, supporting individuals and groups in navigating stress, anxiety, climate grief, and disconnection through creative, body-based, and land-attuned experiences.
Her practice extends beyond the therapy room and studio into forests, festivals, classrooms, and public spaces, where she invites people to slow down, listen, and re-learn how to be in ethical relationship with the living world.
