About
Welcome to Sustaining Creativity!
Everything I do in my life is based on creativity. I believe we are all creative and with creativity I believe we can transform our lives. I truly believe in the transformative power of creativity and supporting people to reclaim their creativity power makes my heart sing.
I support performers and non-performers, to build confidence, conquer creative blocks and reclaim their creative power so they can take action and start incorporating more creativity into their daily lives.
I believe when we surround ourselves with creativity we have more fun, inspire innovation and deepen our relationships with ourselves.
