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.

40

What else ...

I love to meditate, write, draw and play.
I also like to bring a few small arts materials wherever I go and I love to dance.
I am newly learning to create content and about social media.
And I enjoy sharing my skills in breathwork, relaxation and meditation with others.
