Welcome to my studio, I'm Julie, an artist & creative wellbeing practitioner. I've always loved being creative from an early age, I believe creativity can help us slow down, reconnect with ourselves and discover new possibilities. For me, creativity is not separate from wellbeing - it is part of how we connect, express ourselves & find meaning.
I'm a qualified Art teacher however I see myself more as an 'Art facilitator'. During the pandemic I founded Artworks! a community group delivering online art sessions to support people through a challenging and isolating time. I saw first-hand how creativity could provide connection, self-expression and a positive focus and how using art could help people explore wellbeing and manage feelings of anxiety.
This experience led me towards my current offerings in Creative Wellbeing. I hold Diploma's in Counselling, Mindfulness, Trauma Coaching and am certified in Mental Health First Aid. I bring these alongside my own life experience.
