Happy CLIENTS

  • “A perfect additional to our wellness event”

    "All of the attendees found Hannah’s workshop relaxing and inventive and it helped them connect with themselves on a deeper level. She made a safe space for the attendees to be able to delve into their thoughts and emotions, as well as not to feel judged by what they had written or pressured to share.

    The workshop was a perfect addition to our wellness event, Connect Cornwall, and Hannah was a joy to work with.”

    - James Cavanagh-Shaddock, Project Coordinator at Hospitality Table Cornwall

  • “I definitely recommend you try one of these with your team.”

    “Our staff creative journaling workshop was so much fun with Hannah. It was a great exercise to do personally to round up our year, but also as a team it really brought us closer together in sharing all our 2023 triumphs and challenges!

    As the business owner I found it very touching and quite emotional to hear everyone’s kind words and support at the end of the year, and it was filled with a lot of laughter too. The drawing practices allowed us to explore expressing our creativity in our own ways - it was really fun!

    I definitely recommend you try one of these with your team.”

    - Ella Kite, Founder of Sunshine Cafe & Yoga

  • “The evaluation indicated positive changes for participants, both in terms of nature connection and improved wellbeing”

    “Natural England worked with Hannah on a Creative Journaling for a Nature Connection Project and Hannah facilitated and developed the contents for four workshops with a group referred by social prescription.

    The workshops were fun, creative, engaging and inclusive and Hannah did a brilliant job of building trust and rapport with the group. The evaluation, at week 4 indicated positive changes for participants both in terms of increased experiences of nature connection and improved wellbeing.

    I thoroughly recommend Hannah’s services, a pleasure to work with.”

    — Mel Smith, Senior Advisor of Inclusion and Connecting People With Nature, Natural England

  • “Helped to calm me and bring me into the present moment”

    “After a hard day, Hannah's workshop in the evening helped calm me and bring me into the present moment. It helped me reflect on what I love about where I live, supported me to be creative (something I often forget to do these days) and feel a real sense of gratitude.

    It was wonderful to feel connected to others, even if virtually, and share our experiences in our home towns. Highly recommend 😍”

    — Amy, Zoom workshop participant

  • “Hannah facilitated the group expertly…she has a great communication style”

    “Hannah’s workshop was fab! The group size was exactly right and I really enjoyed meeting people from different places and backgrounds and hearing their perspectives and ideas.

    Hannah facilitated the group expertly and kept us focused. She has a great communication style and is really engaging so it didn't feel too "managed" or formal at all.”

    — Andrea, workshop participant

  • “Being creative and considering nature in a new way was amazingly refreshing”

    “Our creative nature journaling workshop with Hannah was a fantastic way to think about nature a little differently. We all spend so much time thinking about our own small work area and the problems involved, it’s easy to forget that feeling of wonder.

    Taking a step back, being creative and considering nature in a new way and how it makes us feel was amazingly refreshing. Sharing the exercises as a team was brilliant to connect and learn more about colleagues old and new. I came away from the session feeling both invigorated and calm. What a lovely couple of hours!”

    — Alice Lord, Senior Specialist at Natural England (team wellbeing workshop)

THE POWER OF JOURNALING

(And why I love it)

Journaling workshop Cornwall

As simple as putting pen-to-paper might seem, journaling can bring so many significant benefits to our lives. In fact, there’s all kinds of excellent research that shows it can reduce stress and anxiety, make us more optimistic and improve our mental and physical wellbeing.

I’m immensely passionate about bringing people together and helping them discover just how much that positive creative journaling can do for them — and when I get to witness it happening before my eyes it makes me so happy I could cry (and I sometimes do)! Needless to say, I’d be overjoyed to support you on your journaling journey.
