Emily Pleasance, MA, RP(Q), ExAT



Emily (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist, Climate-Aware Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Expressive Arts Therapist, and certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide based in Tkaronto/Toronto. Her conceptual and community-based art practice explores human–nature relationships through a decolonial and ecopsychological lens, often using story, found material, and embodied experience as pathways for reconnection.

Her work extends beyond the studio into forests, festivals, classrooms, and public programs, where she invites people to slow down, listen, and engage with the living world through talks and workshops on ecological reciprocity and creative, body, and nature-based practices.

Amália/Emily - “I am grateful to be able to live and work in Tkaronto. I  recognize this land to be the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat. I acknowledge that Tkaronto is covered by Treaty 13 and that while I am on this land I must know and live the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreements to honour all beings that live in this land.
