I am excited to share that Stress Awareness Month is happening throughout April 2023, and I am launching a new initiative called Feed Your Creativity. With over 25 years of experience in the arts, education, play, mental health, and social enterprise sectors, I understand the power of creativity to change lives and communities.

As a local artist, business coach, and clinical hypnotherapist based in Dingle, I am launching #FeedYourCreativity to combat stress, boost mental health, and promote creative thinking in local grassroots communities. My goal is to challenge the stigma surrounding stress and mental health by aligning with the Stress Awareness Month theme of #actnow – action changes things.
Through Feed Your Creativity, I aim to support changes in local Liverpool communities by promoting mental well-being and providing access to arts, brain science, relaxation tips, and cutting-edge innovation tools. My vision is to empower more people to tap into their creativity and generate innovative solutions that can benefit their communities.
I strongly believe that by tending to grassroots ideas, we can plant the seed for a better future. With Feed Your Creativity, I hope to ignite imaginations, ideas, and new visions that will create a better collective future for all.
My plan includes designing, printing, and distributing mindful colouring books at food banks in partnership with The Big Help Project, offering face-to-face relaxation and wellbeing sessions in community centers in West Derby and Aintree, and launching a rejuvenating business leaders program to help reduce burnout through blending arts, stress-reducing tools, and working outdoors.
To make this initiative a success, I am seeking £5,000 in funding to cover building the programs, which I have developed through my own savings, doing pro bono coaching during the lockdowns. The funds will enable development of more partnerships, act as match funding, cover space hire, materials, and other related costs.
If you are interested in supporting my vision, you can invest via the crowdfunding campaign or get involved by joining the advisory board or offering skills to grow the initiatives. In the longer-term, I am also looking to leverage the support created by using the funds raised to apply for Awesome Liverpool, Awards for All, and Arts Council England.
