About me
I live near Bath in the UK, where I love to explore the fields, woods, streams and hills of the beautiful South West.
At the core of my work is a belief in the importance of living and working from the heart, with understanding, kindness and compassion. Fundamentally, it’s what I am all about. For me, it’s key to feeling good, and staying well and happy, and I love to spread that around a little.
I’m a nature-loving artist, crafter, smile-giver, creative practitioner, facilitator, collaborator and all-round multipotentialite.
In my own time I love to bake, paint, knit and craft – and I’m always exploring new avenues of creativity. I have a particular passion for anything bright, colourful and joyful.
I’ve been known to lose hours of time rummaging through charity shops. I have more teacups than I know what to do with…
As a multipotentialite, I have a few different things on the go. I’m also co-director at The Dept of Kindness, helping to spread kindness and compassion through creativity.
My experience
At heart I’m a multipotentialite – which means I thrive by having many different ventures (in fact, I sometimes call myself a multiventurite – it seems more fitting!) My skills come from a lifetime’s passion of exploration, and bringing different avenues of learning together to create new paradigms.
In many ways, the journey of my life has been my training for the work I do. Over the years I’ve taken part in a large range of formal and informal learning across many different fields, and I use the knowledge and skills I’ve learnt in each of those in the every day running of my business.
