Carrie Heller-Altfield is the Founder and Executive Director of the Circus Arts Institute in Atlanta, GA. Carrie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Play Therapist and professional aerialist. Since 1972, Carrie has been in the circus ring mastering an array of ground and aerial skills in the circus arts beginning with the Florida State University Flying High Circus. She then moved on to become a circus teacher, performer, and choreographer; complementing circus training with the study of dance, yoga, and martial arts.
Carrie received her Masters in Social Work from Tulane University in 1987. After graduating, she founded Atlanta’s first circus school and opened her classes to families. Carrie began observing the unique benefits of circus when combined with therapeutic language. At the same time, she served as Director of Clinical Services at The Bridge Runaway Shelter in Atlanta. Shortly thereafter, Carrie went into private practice and founded Circus Camp, serving thousands of children before selling the camp in 2003 to focus on her seminal work combining circus and therapy. After researching and studying with a Dance Movement therapist, Carrie began to integrate what is now Circus Arts Therapy® into her private practice. Her research began in 2007.
Combining Carrie’s background as a social worker, play therapist, and circus artist, Carrie served as a Trainer of Trainers for Cirque Du Monde, a Cirque Du Soleil Outreach Program that uses circus arts to help youth around the world. Carrie has also been involved with the American Youth Circus Organization (AYCO) since its inception. AYCO has since expanded to include the American Circus Educators (ACE) and Carrie had the honor of serving on the Board of Directors for AYCO/ACE and is now serving on the Legacy Advisors Committee. Carrie is the author of the industry’s first Aerial Circus Training and Safety Manual. She is passionate about passing on her experience in both adaptive and typically developing circus arts in her trainings.
In conjunction with Dr. Lauren Taglialatela, Carrie co-authored the article Circus Arts Therapy® Fitness and Play Therapy Program Shows Positive Clinical Results, which can be found in the International Journal of Play Therapy, April 2018 edition: http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/pla0000068.
