About me:
I step away from the traditional medicalized gaze that treats human distress as a list of symptoms to be eliminated. As a licensed clinician, university professor, and practitioner of somatic witchcraft, my approach bridges evidence-informed expressive arts therapy with ancient, intuitive ritual. Whether you are navigating body grief, queer transitions, implicit trauma, or systemic burn-out, we build a customized container where your body can land safely.
Professional Bio:
Dr. Wednesdae Reim Ifrach is an Art Alchemist, scholar, author, and poet exploring the intersections of somatic reclamation, esoteric ritual, and creative expression. As Program Co-ordinator and Professor of the MA in Expressive Arts Therapy and Counseling at Moravian University, their work centers on bodily autonomy, queer trauma recovery, and expressive arts.
Blending autoethnography, mini-mannequin art therapy, soul collage, reiki, sound frequency, and witchcraft, Wednesdae’s practice treats the body as a sacred canvas for transmutation. They are the author of Queer Expressions and two poetry collections, Hex & Flesh and Skeletons, Sequins, and Kin.
Thanks to their facilitation of part of The Monument Quilt, you can see some of their art and art therapy work on display at the Baltimore Museum of Art. You can also hear them guide you through a journey of gender in modern art or learn about body liberation in art with The Museum of Modern Art’s (MoMA) Artful Practices for Well-Being.
