Why creativity?

“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.”

The Vital Role of Creativity in Wellbeing & Happiness

Creativity is an essential part of being human. It's not just about art; it’s how we solve problems, connect with others, and understand ourselves. Throughout evolution, our ability to express ideas, emotions, and stories has been vital for survival and connection. Creativity taps into this deep-seated need, enabling us to navigate challenges, communicate effectively, and envision a future that aligns with our true selves. Whether or not you see yourself as a "creative person," creativity is central to living a fulfilling, healthy life.

Everyone has creativity within them. It’s about tapping into your natural ability to innovate, adapt, and grow. Engaging in creative activities can enhance your ability to think critically, unblock old habits, and open your mind to new possibilities.

A few of the incredible benefits* of creativity on our mental, emotional & social wellbeing:

About Me

“I believe everyone can expand their creativity and explore a new way of being.”

  • I'm a lover of all things creative and expressive. I play in my creativity in many forms, from visual arts to music & movement.

    My daily creative practice typically includes paints, scissors, and found objects. Currently, I also gravitate toward photography, collage, textiles, and string instruments.

    My biggest creative project is my life and community, as I value connection and honest self-expression.

  • I am a creative, since birth.

    I am an educator, since 2001.

    I am a community builder, since 2010.

    For years, I thrived as a professional photographer in fine art, fashion, branding, and editorial. Despite celebrating successes, I found true fulfillment only after starting communities and facilitating workshops focused on creativity and mindfulness during a creative sabbatical.

    My latest creation is a conscious creative community, meeting monthly to nurture creativity and connection. It was there, through deep conversations with creatives life yourself, where I was inspired to create The Creative Experience, a 12-week online group experience.

  • Personal growth and expansion have always been important to me.

    But it wasn't until I began working with great mentors, that my life transformed. They give me the tools to change my thought patterns and beliefs, accelerate my success, and expand possibilities beyond previously imagined. This led to profound changes in every area—wellbeing, relationships, career, spirituality. True transformation is not just possible, but inevitable with the right support. If you’re ready to open up your possibilities and transform your life, investing in yourself is key.

    Through my experiences and insights gained from working closely with my mentors, you’ll benefit from their teachings as well. I’m excited to share this knowledge with you.

    My mentors include:

    I am also inspired by the teachings of Byron Katie (The Work), Julia Cameron (The Artist Way), Steve Chandler, Steve Hardison, Ram Dass, human design, and gene keys.

  • My Business Manifesto & Life Manifesto are the same, a collection of teachings (in no particular order) that I practice to embody every day.
