About Me

Hi, I’m Marcey (Mar) Gray
Artist, Mental Health Peer Supporter, and End-of-Life Doula Candidate.

Whether I’m creating art, providing mental health peer support, or accompanying someone through their final days, I bring empathy, warmth, and a deep belief in the healing power of creativity to every interaction.

Having personally navigated the challenges of mental health, I understand how isolating and overwhelming life can feel. Through my own experiences, I discovered how art can serve as both an anchor and a pathway to healing. It has been a constant source of strength, helping me regain my sense of purpose and direction. Now, I channel that same transformative power of creativity to help others find their own paths to healing, connection, and peace.

With nearly 20 years of experience as a mental health and peer support worker, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with remarkable organizations such as the Canadian Mental Health Association, the former Trellis Mental Health and Developmental Services, Freeport and Grand River Hospitals, and many others. My work has taken me into hospitals, community centers, gardens, and private homes, helping individuals reconnect with their creativity, rebuild their confidence, and rediscover their sense of purpose.

As an End-of-Life Doula Candidate through the Home Hospice Association, I offer compassionate emotional support, legacy building, and life celebration planning for those nearing the end of their journey. In this sacred space, I work to create a peaceful, loving environment where individuals can reflect on their lives, find meaning, and experience dignity as they move forward.

I specialize in guiding people through life’s most emotional transitions—whether it's navigating anxiety, depression, isolation, or the complexities of end-of-life planning. My approach is always gentle, understanding, and tailored to what you need to heal and grow. I believe wholeheartedly in focusing on your strengths, not your limitations.

Healing, connection, and peace are always within reach, no matter the challenges you face. If you’re looking for someone to walk beside you—through the ups, the downs, and everything in between—I would be honoured to join you on your journey.

Let’s create something meaningful together.
