Shaped by lived experience. Created for shared experience.
Teal Hummingbird is a wellbeing studio rooted in safety, moving in rhythms and compassionately coming alive.
It isn't trying to help women chase extraordinary lives.
It is helping them become attentive enough to discover the extraordinary that has been quietly waiting within their ordinary all along.
In a world where productivity and achievement carry such high status it might be contraversial to say, but I believe people don't come alive through pressure and striving.
They come alive through relationship, safety and being met exactly where they are.
This understanding has grown from years of walking alongside women navigating trauma, domestic abuse, mental health challenges, caring responsibilities and life transitions, as well as my own lived experience of these things.
Giving ourselves permission to be, not just do.
This work isn't about pushing for transformation. It's about cultivating the conditions where transformation becomes possible.
I bring a calm, thoughtful presence and a deep respect for each person's story, nervous system and rhythms.
Through my training in attachment I have adopted the PACE model (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) and everything within Teal Hummingbird is guided by this alongside the core foundations: Rooted in safety. Moving in rhythms. Coming alive again.
Because I believe that when we feel safe enough to simply be...Curiosity is reawakened. Creativity rediscovered. Connection returns. And slowly, compassionately...so do we.
Studio Conversations
1:1 Coaching & Therapeutic Creativity
rooted in trauma-informed reflective practice and somatics
A place to return to yourself
Sometimes life asks so much of us that we gradually lose touch with ourselves. Circumstances out of our control might have led to burnout or chronic stress.
We keep going.
We keep caring.
We keep coping.
Until one day we realise we've forgotten what it feels like to simply be. What it is that makes us who we are. The things that light us up.
1:1 sessions at Teal Hummingbird offer a safe yet spacious place to pause, gain clarity and come alive again at a pace that works for you.
Together we create space to notice what matters, make sense of your experiences, rediscover what has been hidden and move towards a life that feels more like your own.
Together we might explore...
...reconnecting with yourself after years of caring for others
...navigating change, loss or life transitions
...rebuilding your life and identity after an abusive relationship or toxic environment
...recovering from burnout or emotional exhaustion
...naming limiting beliefs
...identifying new empowering beliefs
...rediscovering confidence and self-trust
...creating a life that feels rooted in your own rhythms
...finding space for creativity, joy and possibility
...listening to your body with compassion and trust
...making decisions that feel true to who you are
...how you put your new beliefs and rhythms into practice

Therapeutic Creativity
You might be thinking "But I'm not creative".
The thought of trying to be creative might make you start to panic!
If that's the case I encourage you with these words from author Elizabeth Gilbert: "To be alive is to be creative"
Everyday all of us use creativity whether we are aware of it or not. In our descions, juggling life, cooking, parenting.
It isn't about artistic talent or producing beautiful art.
It's about curiosity.
Finding another way of listening to yourself when sentences feel difficult or incomplete.
Shifting from living in our heads to trusting in our bodies.
Creating space for reflection, expression and reconnection. Space for what words sometimes cannot hold.
Making marks and a new way of making sense.
