Patch - Work Near Home

Bit late to the party today ( I was at Poetry Soul Circle making art with words!) So cool to see creative culture dominating the City centre this week. (Oh and check out the image in my last post about the New Moon & Medusa, spooky!) #moreofthisplease #concretecanvaschelmsford #creativeculture #streetarteverywere #oldskoolvibes

SketchFACE DAYS or SketchFACE NIGHTS? I’ve had a lot of conversations recently about being a morning lark or a night owl. Links are in my bio to book which one suits you. Two great Chelmsford venues and two human timescales. Share, like and comment = LARK or OWL to help these posts get seen ✏️⭐️ #daynight #booktickets #chelmsford #drawingevents #drawingportraits

Welcome to Patch! 🚀 We’ve moved into our new home at Patch to create a space for patients that feels like a sanctuary. It’s right in the heart of Gloucester, perfectly placed for anyone traveling by bus, train, or walking over from the hospital. Accessible. Welcoming. Community-focused. We’d love to see you there! Get in touch with us to find out more about our new counselling home. #LincNextChapter #Gloucestershire #CommunityHub #PatientWellbeing

BELIEVE the HYPE that Chelmsford is alive with art and creativity tomorrow! We will be running #drawtogetherstrangers in the Bond Street Bowl. Come and say hello 👋! The city’s street art festival features music, artists, food and the unexpected. Does anyone else remember Fat Boy Slim playing a set one year or is it an urban myth or another one of my *dreams 😂?? If there’s something you want people to know about, happening tomorrow drop a message below… #concretecanvaschelmsford #chelmsford #sketchfacechelmsford #saturday

Perhaps you are struggling to show yourself some love, which is why you might make a self love jar. Or perhaps you are feeling down on luck and want to welcome more abundance into your life, so you might choose to make an abundance jar to act like a magnet. Or if you’re feeling like you need to guard your energy you may choose to make a spiritual protection jar. Which one will you choose? #spelljarworkshop #theautisticwomensclub #witchywellness

What a day ☺️ I do believe my job for BAO at the moment is about showing up and shouting about BAO and what I believe in. So that is what I am doing, getting out and about and speaking to people whether it be at markets or networking or just out and about generally. Today was the triple, it was excellent but I have no plans to complete it again anytime soon. Thank you very much to everyone I spoke to day and for the brilliant presentations. Lots of inspiration and practical advice. All I have to do now is implement it. #glowwithbao #naturalskincare #networking #dorset

It’s so nice to look back and remember the nerves of the first place I did my live doodles. I really didn’t think anyone would like them. I did maybe 10 doodles at that very first event @patchplaces and haven’t looked back since. It’s crazy that now when I do an event I’m starting to ask people to pre order. As I have more requests than I have time. Keep your eyes peeled for where I am going to be over the next few months and get ahead of the crowd and pre order your doodle to collect on the day. @westbourneartisanmarket @dogstival @highcliffecastle @canfordschool @newforestcountyfair

What a week 💪🏻 Over the last 7 days I’ve spoken to 60+ mums across a number of different events - starting at the fab @themumclubkingston , then a very special local playgroup that I actually attended myself as a mum, followed by my first Becoming Mum evening event at @patchplaces … and finally my first baby-friendly workshop this morning at the lovely WOW Family Hub @pickle.and.bean.teddington It’s been so great to meet so many women and see mums intentionally prioritising their own mental health and wellbeing - particularly during Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week and Mental Health Awareness Week. Becoming Mum was created to open up the conversation around Matrescence - centring the mother, not only the baby, and creating space for honesty alongside joy. But over these last couple of months, one of the things I’ve valued most has simply been getting to know so many incredible women in my local community. There’s something really powerful about mums sitting in a room together and realising they are not the only one feeling the way they do. Thank you to every mum who came along, shared openly, or took time out for herself this week. I’ve genuinely loved receiving messages over the last few days from mums saying they feel calmer, or hearing about the different ways they are trying to access “soothe” for themselves. I feel really privileged to be a Clinical Psychologist and, together, we are building something really special - a community where mothers themselves are centred, held and understood. This really does feel like just the beginning ✨
