I'm creating Nurture because I believe that creativity is vitally important. It's part of what makes us unique & powerful human beings.

In our busy lives it often gets delayed or ignored, we put it into the 'one day I'll get around to it' category. Yet when we make the time to do some writing / painting / whatever your jam is ... we feel refreshed, recharged. It nourishes us in a deep way, right?

But if you're anything like me, maybe you resist letting yourself have that creative pleasure...

I've painted on an off for most of my life, large landscapes painted in oils mostly; yet when I've experienced trauma or struggle, the painting falls by the wayside. Then when I finally pick the brushes back up and have a play, I wonder why on earth I left it so long!

I figured there must be other women who experience a similar reticence to express their creativity. My hope is that if I create a space for us to nurture our craft and just have fun trying new modes of creative expression, then we'll all benefit from that.

As a coach and personal development nerd, I understand why life struggles get in the way of creativity and how to gently nurture ourselves through those times, and I want to share that with more women. My deepest work is around helping people to believe in themselves again, to heal the self-doubt and self-criticism and step into an easier, kinder confidence.

Creativity is a fun & powerful shortcut to joy - whatever is going on in your life. Doing that within a community of like-hearted women seems like a hugely nourishing thing to do, for all of us.

If this resonates, I'd love for you to join us! It is brand new (although I've been thinking about it for oh ... about 3 years!!) so that means that as a Founding Member you can help shape the experience. I'm building this to help women, to help us re-centre our creativity, and I would love to get your input on what resonates and what doesn't. I have the first few Creative Experiences drafted, and lots of ideas for others - your feedback will be invaluable in building this to be a truly nurturing space for creative women worldwide.

How exciting!
