Amazing Healing Benefits
I have always had a passion for the importance of play and creativity in education, and also supporting children's mental and emotional health.
My research into the power of creativity was published and presented in 2010 at Keel University International DATA conference.
Creativity is a very powerful way of accessing our subconscious mind. It enables us to access unprocessed emotions and traumas we may have had in a very gentle and compassionate way. It also enables us to find inner calm and peace within ourselves, regardless of what's going on externally in our lives.
I work with children and young adults 1:1 and run well-being workshops for parents and carers.
My dedication to you
At Creatively Mindful, I believe in a holistic approach to wellness that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment, where everyone feels comfortable and supported and a sense of community and true heart connection can be formed.
