    Dr Ariel Moy is in private practice (Melbourne) specialising in maternal experiencing. She is an Art Therapist as well as an academic teacher, doctoral research supervisor, author, and researcher. Her book An Arts Therapeutic Approach to Maternal Holding (Routledge) is tailored to those working with mothers to develop their sense of self and relationship with their child. It introduces the concept of the mother/child ‘us’ and its practical applications. She is currently excited about the post-qualitative approach to research and therapy. This sits alongside her fascination with mothering, childing, art making and playing within the rich soils of experiencing.
