Your path to inner harmony begins here
At Create> Reflect > Renew, I believe in the transformative power of integrated creative practices. This is where your journey of rediscovery, healing, and growth truly begins. I am dedicated to supporting you in reconnecting with clarity, confidence, and meaning through gentle, holistic approaches.
To be clear, I am not an Art Therapist. Art Therapy is a coveted title and is a regulated discipline within the clinical framework after many years of study. I offer Creative Arts Therapies, a multiple of different modalities that focuses on the PROCESS of making,not the finished product, and this sits in the space of person centred self discovery.
The inspiration behind my vision
The foundation of 'Create > Reflect > Renew' was built upon witnessing the profound impact of gentle, creative practices within creative arts therapy. My inspiration stemmed from a desire to create a space where these powerful tools – journaling, creative expression, reflection, and embodied awareness – are integrated, not isolated. I aim to help people not just support their wellbeing, but truly reconnect with their inner clarity, confidence, and purpose. It's about empowering you to find your voice and embrace your unique journey.
Holistic, gentle, and deeply personal
In a world full of wellbeing options, 'Create > Reflect > Renew' stands apart with its unique creative and faith-based approach because it truly works with the whole person. I understand that genuine understanding and lasting change happen most effectively when they feel natural, gentle, and deeply personal. My integrated methods allow you to access your inner wisdom and embark on a path of growth that resonates with your authentic self, celebrating every step of your unique expression.
My journey to create > reflect > renew
My personal journey led me from a career in education to the profound world of holistic creative therapy. After retiring, I felt a strong pull to delve deeper into the immense benefits of the arts for mental health and wellbeing. I’ve seen how both children and adults can find their voice through drawing, music, or clay when they might otherwise feel unheard or unworthy. At 'Create > Reflect > Renew,' we celebrate that there is no right or wrong; every individual brings their own unique self, and that is my greatest joy to witness and nurture. I wanted to be a part of creating that positive change in Nottingham and beyond.
“The creative sessions at Create > Reflect > Renew provided such a comforting space for me to process my thoughts. I left feeling lighter and with a renewed sense of hope.”
