About Sacred Circle Healing Arts
About Amanda
I’m Amanda Scandrett, a visual artist, musician, and arts educator. I’m also a Registered Canadian Art Therapist (RCAT). Creativity has carried me through difficult seasons and been part of some of my most joyful ones. It continues to shape how I understand change, meaning, and connection.
I teach at the university level, with a focus on arts education, trauma-aware approaches, and contemplative practice. I’ve released several albums and toured around the world. These days, I sing and play synthesizer in a rock band, make ambient music, and occasionally dust off a few covers with a cover band.
I care deeply about community arts projects that bring people together, especially people who might not think of themselves as artists. I love helping people recognize the creativity already present in their lives and the beautiful contributions they have to make.
Education & Training
My education includes a Master of Education in Educational Psychology–Counselling. My art therapy education included extensive training, practicum, and supervised client work. I’m also a Reiki Master and Karuna Ki Master, with additional training in Somatic Experiencing, regression therapy, and hypnosis.
The Studio
Sacred Circle Healing Arts Studio is a bright, homey space on the second and third floors above the shops on 13th Avenue, in the heart of Regina’s vibrant Cathedral Village. I’ve called Cathedral Village home for more than 25 years, and the studio has been home to my practice since September 2025.
The studio has a few distinct spaces:
-
Kitchen and art studio: a place for making, exploring, and gathering around creative work.
-
Living room: a comfortable space for conversation.
-
One-to-one session room: a quiet, private space with a massage table for energy healing and individual sessions.
-
Meditation space: a magical, tucked-away room on the third floor.
The studio is home to my one-to-one sessions and hosts gatherings and workshops. It’s also available to rent for practitioners. If you’re interested in renting the space, please fill out the contact form.

How I Work
My practice is experiential, integrative, and wellness-based. We begin with what feels present and what you’d like to explore. Together, we can draw on creative and contemplative practices, guided meditation and sound, somatic awareness, and energy work. You have choice and agency throughout; there’s no single prescribed path or need to arrive with everything figured out.
A session might include making art, drawing oracle cards, or settling into a guided meditation. You might choose to lie down in the one-to-one session room for deep relaxation, hang out on the green comfy couch, or take in the magical vibes of the Meditation Space. These are invitations, not a set plan: you guide the session through your interests, preferences, and choices, and we shape the experience together. You can meet with me in the studio or over Zoom; if we meet online, you can shape your space in whatever way feels nourishing and meaningful to you.
You might come with a life transition, a wish to know yourself more deeply, or curiosity about shadow work and ancestral or past-life themes. We can explore what feels meaningful to you and find practices that support that exploration.
My work makes space to question the systems and assumptions we inherit, including how colonial histories, power, and privilege shape our lives and the ways we see ourselves. I believe art and contemplation can make room for freedom, rest, and reconnection—breathing life back into tender places.
