Community · Creativity · Ceremony · Connection

Spaces to connect, create and belong.

I create thoughtful, participatory experiences for people, teams and communities, from women’s wellbeing groups and community theatre, to workshops, events and specialist mentoring.

01 · Community theatre with Side By Side

Stories brought to light.

As a freelance facilitator with Sheffield-based Side By Side, I co-create inclusive theatre and wellbeing spaces for refugees, asylum seekers and local residents.

Weekly sessions use drama, movement, singing and play to build connection across cultural and language barriers, with opportunities to create original performances.

02 · Specialist mentoring

Support that walks beside you.

I offer person-centred, holistic 1:1 mentoring for people navigating academic, professional and personal environments.

Sessions can focus on organisation, time management, executive functioning and self-advocacy, with strategies shaped around each person’s strengths, including neurodivergent clients.

03 · Circles Together

A space to breathe and belong.

Circles Together creates nurturing, grounded spaces where women of all ages can reconnect with themselves, one another and the wisdom held within life’s transitions.

The circles and holistic wellbeing programmes honour natural cycles and different stages of womanhood through reflection, creativity and community.

04 · Workshops, facilitation & events

Bring people together with purpose.

I design and deliver workshops and events for corporate teams, academic groups and local communities, tailoring each experience to the people in the room.

My work includes interactive sessions from small intimate groups, to larger community celebrations and seasonal public experiences, using creativity to build rapport and connection.
