Airdrie’s entrepreneurial spirit is blossoming in Sharla Crowie, founder and director of Bloom Narratives Therapy & Wellness.
Since opening its doors in 2021, Crowie has grown her clinic into a vibrant space offering trauma-informed therapy and workshops that support individuals, couples and families. In 2025, she expanded Bloom Narratives to a new location in Gateway, sharing the space with CARE Psychology, a testament to her vision and dedication.
As a teenager, Crowie found joy in volunteering and leadership, which led her to study social work in college. Fast forward through nine years of post-secondary education and a master’s degree and it’s still the simple act of connecting with people that she enjoys the most.
“That’s where I felt most alive and I still do,” she says. “Over time, I became passionate about addressing the bigger systems and barriers that impact people’s lives.”
Although Crowie admits that trauma work can be heavy, it is also deeply meaningful.
“When a client realizes they’ve met a goal or reclaimed something important to them, it’s like a snapshot moment — a reminder of why I do what I do,” she says.
Her approach blends deep clinical expertise with a commitment to community care, from subsidizing therapy for those in need to mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs.
With integrity, intention and a passion for giving back, Crowie cultivates wellness across Airdrie and beyond.
The AAWAs are celebrating their Sweet 16 in 2026. What advice would you give to your 16-year-old self?
I don’t think I’d give her advice … I’d just sit with her. I’d listen. I’d tell her she’s loved, supported and enough exactly as she is.
