The path that led me here

With over 13 years experience as a photographer and filmmaker, 9+ years as a freelance writer and creative workshop facilitator for people of all ages, and 5 years in the mental health sector, I bring a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and compassion to all I do.
 

Many of my workshops are inspired by the relationship the ancestral tribes of Yorkshire once had with the world in which they lived. Through researching the mythical stories of my Germanic and Celtic ancestors (a great passion of mine!), I discovered ancient beliefs about human's connection to trees and the powerful healing and transformative abilities they believed exist within us all. These insights inspired me to develop a deep connection to nature and my ancestral heritage, something I love to teach others about.

​

Now, I love creating spaces where people can connect with their true selves, whether that's through a photography shoot or facilitating a creative workshop!

​

One of my free offerings is the creative writing group Write to Be that I hold the last Tuesday of every month in Wakefield. Click here to find out more about it :)

​

Whether you're looking to capture the energy of your event or product through a bespoke photoshoot, or you're an organisation seeking creative activities for your staff or those you work with, I can tailor what I offer to suit your needs.
