Why I created the Capture the Seasons courses, my experience.
Created from my heart, just take a scroll through my Instagram feed click here , you will find images of my observations, of nature, speaking to my soul, and maybe to yours? I call it 'Eyes of Wonder' and I am here to help, guide you to open your eyes too.
​
It was a gift, it guided me through a traumatic and heart-breaking experience, one which I now understand with heightened vision and in a new light. I share more about this in my blog posts.
It gently brought me back to a feeling of wholeness, it was transformative.
​
Is there something you feel is waiting to be transformed? To bring you back to wholeness, to your joy.
​
I also share with you my professional experience of over three decades as a designer on how to use the power of observation and awareness of beauty, to access inspiration, which ultimately helps you to tap into your unique creative spark and elevate it.
​
I understand first hand as a busy mother and entrepreneur how much we have to juggle, so I have designed the courses, to be accessible and easy to fit into your day, I believe passionately that we all should allow ourselves to take time to out from the daily busyness of life that can sometimes take over. The courses are there as a reminder for you to do just that, take them at your own pace and enjoy the magic each seasons brings. Find inner calm amid the busyness of life, start each season with clarity as you ready yourself for inspiration to really take hold.
​
This will not only be a gift to yourself, but will extend to loved ones, life and your work.
​
So are you ready to truly BLOOM?
