Kimberly Hetherington

Art Therapist

My name is Kimberly Hetherington. I am an art therapist, meditation teacher, published author, and mother of two young girls. I am also currently completing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology.

At North Shore Stroke Recovery Centre, I integrate counselling, intuitive art-making, and mindfulness to support individuals navigating life after stroke. Creative expression offers a powerful, non-verbal pathway for processing change, rebuilding identity, and fostering resilience. Art-making supports neuroplasticity, encourages self-discovery, and creates new opportunities for connection and renewed confidence.

I am continually inspired by the way art brings people together and awakens curiosity, creativity, and possibility at every stage of life. I look forward to getting to know all of you.
