Janelle Hardy

Janelle Hardy is a writer, artist, host of the Personal Mythmaking Podcast and the creator/teacher of a transformational memoir-writing course called The Art of Personal Mythmaking.

She’s a born and raised Yukoner, a solo mother, who has been working as a trauma-informed bodyworker in the hands-on healing arts fields for 13+ years and as an artist (writing, painting + dance) for 17+ years. Throughout that time she’s taught adults out of her living room, arts centres, universities and community colleges.

For the past 5+ years she’s integrated all of her expertise, including a BA in Anthropology, an MA in Dance and a Diploma in Structural Integration, into supporting people in their creative healing work via the alchemy of transformational memoir-writing.

As a self-employed, white, cisgendered, Canadian woman she believes Black Lives Matter, she stands for LGBTQIA+ rights, and she is actively investing in and working to build an inclusive, anti-racist healing arts practice and business, from the inside out.

She is working and living on unceded Syilx People’s land in Vernon, BC.
