Testimonials
What participants say...
Anything can happen. That's the beauty of creating.
Together, we can bring more creativity into the world.
Nature and nurture work hand in hand to support growth, healing, and wellbeing. Time spent in natural environments can calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and create space to reconnect with ourselves, while nurturing support provides safety, encouragement, and trust. When people are gently supported in nature - whether through movement, creativity, or connection with animals - they’re given the opportunity to learn, grow, and build confidence at their own pace. It’s in this balance of environment and care that meaningful change often begins.

Geothe
Michelle’s approach is deeply shaped by lived experience. At just 21 years old, she launched and published Options magazine, successfully running it for 10 years before pivoting the business into digital marketing and growing it into a creative agency. This journey was built while living with her own disabilities - ADHD and mental health challenges - giving Michelle firsthand insight into resilience, adaptability, and thinking differently in both business and life.
Now in her 40s, Michelle’s focus has shifted to giving back to the community. For more than a decade, she dreamed of working in the disability and mental health space, and today that dream has become reality. She is passionate about supporting people with disability to live the ordinary life they choose - whether that means working, creating a business, exploring creative or therapeutic pathways, or focusing on healing and wellbeing. Her work is grounded in empathy, real-world experience, and the belief that lived experience is not a limitation, but a strength.
