about carly lovejoy

artist | art therapist |
student of the earth

Decorative vertical floral design with leaves and swirling elements on a black background.

since childhood, Art & nature have been my refuge.

When life gets stormy, art-making helps me transmute my inner chaos into external form and meaning. When I lose myself, connecting to the earth beneath my feet helps me remember my enoughness. The mountains and stones slow down time. The waters and wind help clear all that is not mine to hold. The trees teach me how to balance rooting and expressing,

Through my work with art therapy, earth ways yoga, and herbalism, I hope to help others make contact with their creative life force. I believe this process can support imagining new ways forward - individually and collectively. We can create new language for our unique ways of being and more alignment in the world around us, walking a path to belonging, healing, and a sense of reciprocal relationship to the land.

Through mirroring mother earth - her creativity, abundance, and capacity to heal herself - may we find deeper respect for our inner & outer worlds.

may we find expression, creation & liberation - together.

Love Notes

  • "What I love most about working with Charlotte is how she helps me see myself more clearly. Her calm reassurance when I’m losing it. Her ability to take me to places that heal my heart and mind.”

  • “Past trauma had me in constant flight mode and suicidal at times. Since working with Charlotte, my nervous system has calmed way down. I can ground myself and face situations I used to fear."
