Caitie Gutierrez is a mental health and chronic illness advocate and writer from Lenape Territory (New York) who has been living and working on Gadigal Land (Sydney) for the last 5 years. She has a background in music, psychology, and music therapy and creates content for those with lived experiences of mental and chronic illness.
