Dr. Ariel Moy

I live, work, ponder and play on Boonwurrung Country, though I’m prone to wandering. I began my art’s therapy journey with MIECAT in 2008 and fell in love with this dynamic, relational and encompassing therapeutic, educational and research Form of Inquiry. 

I had the privilege of engaging in MIECAT’s Professional Doctorate in Therapeutic Arts Practice and this experience has afforded me meaningful experiences and encounters nationally and internationally. 

Working at MIECAT since 2018, I’ve facilitated and co-facilitated Masters Units and supervised Masters students undertaking research and work placements. I now supervise some brilliant human beings in our Doctorate as well as coordinate our research Ethical Review Process and Publications. 

I run a private practice focusing on maternal-child relational wellbeing and spend ridiculous amounts of time rabbit-holing into books, articles, podcasts, and art expressions. Practising meditation calms the farm. 

Arts-based research is my passion. Entangling with materials, writing, drawing, mark-making and collage, supports me in meeting our human and more-than-human world differently and with care. 

I remain deeply grateful for the people and atmosphere of MIECAT – a beautiful kind of worlding-with.
