Awkward Everything with Alison Perry-Davies

from Own Your Awkward · host Andy Vargo

Ali is a singer, songwriter, poet, painter, best selling author, daughter, sister, wife, mum , nana and friend.... With a background in disability case management, ministry, music, counselling and support work with adults living with a variety of challenges, Ali brings a healing perspective to all forms of art she creates.   Ali has been using art as part of her healing journey for over 40 years both personally and professionally. She has been writing songs, poems and stories as well as using painting and photography as avenues to release trauma and bring hope.   After sustaining a traumatic brain injury in 2015, Ali needed to reinvent herself as she is unable to return to the career she loved as a result of her injury and has now earned a diploma through a modified program, in Holistic Integrated Creative Art Therapy HICAT as part of her personal healing journey. What started as a way to finding holistic ways to heal her own brain, Ali has discovered ways to share with others in their healing process through her book. Ali's message is.... whatever is happening, whatever challenges we are facing, it is important to find our joy!
