My Summary
About Me
I'm a 29-year-old creative arts practitioner with a passion for fostering children's confidence, resilience, and self-expression through creativity. Trained in Music performance and holding a Bachelor's in Creative Arts Therapies (City of Bristol College), I specialize in child-led, strengths-based approaches—whether in one-to-one support, group workshops, or tailored learning.
My work is rooted in the belief that every child has boundless potential, regardless of circumstance or diagnosis. By integrating music, movement, art, and self-regulation techniques (like EFT tapping, yoga, and affirmation practices), I help children discover their unique voice and build emotional resilience.
With experience across nurseries, SEND support (Unique Voice), and inclusive holiday clubs, I adapt to each child's needs—whether facilitating creative workshops (like my sessions at Upfest) or mentoring through academic challenges. I've also volunteered in hospice care, using music and art to bring moments of connection, which deepened my commitment to compassionate, trauma-informed practice.
As a mother to a 5-year-old, I understand the balance of nurturing growth while keeping things lighthearted. I prioritize joyful learning, but I'm also firm on boundaries: creativity thrives best in spaces where children feel safe, respected, and heard.
Beyond my work, I'm a competitive swimmer, a lover of badminton, puzzles, and deep conversations—especially about psychology and the natural world. I even have a telescope for stargazing and a bearded dragon at home! But above all, I believe kindness, laughter and community are the foundations of a fulfilling life—and I strive to bring those values into every session.
