  • More details about your skills

    I have worked in many jobs over the years and am adaptable.

    I spent many years in the arts in the UK as a circus and street performer and almost 9 years as a Giggle doctor, working for a charity in UK hospitals with the mission to bring joy to children.
    I have also worked as a Personal Assistant to a number of young adults with additional needs and run my own business providing one on one inspiration, uplift and alignment services for adults along with online groups.

    Before this I was a play leader, studied play and ran play projects for Children and teens. I specialised in free choice, open access play which encouraged healthy risk taking and letting the child lead whilst making creative offers to extend their play.

    During recent years I also helped renovate a house and garden in Yorkshire, where I got to put into practice organic principles and natural agriculture theory as well as playing with landscaping.

    I have a keen passion for foraging, cooking and natural crafts.

    During the ‘lockdowns’ when all my usual people facing work stopped I helped with my friends painting and decorating business so I have some experience with that too.

    I believe my greatest skills are my attention to detail, joyful nature, deep listening and enthusiasm and curiosity for life, which I bring to any role.
