A keynote speaker for a different conversation about trauma: one that’s hopeful and creative…
Trauma disconnects. Creativity reconnects.
So much of the conversation around trauma has been focused on treatment, the ‘downward spiral’ and negativity. Yes, trauma can devastate… but it can also radically change what needs to be changed and inspire positive growth.
As an energetic and heartfelt key note speaker, this is what I do best. I shine a light on the upside of trauma: what I’ve dubbed, the ‘Spiral Up’. Central to this process is creativity – and I want to share my knowledge, research and creative insights with you!
Whether it’s in-person with a crowd, online amidst screens or one-on-one for a podcast, I create an environment where everyone feels safe enough to open up, share their experiences and be vulnerable. What I do isn’t about shaming, blaming or rehashing trauma… it’s about alchemising pain into beauty, Art and magic.
I bring more than 5 years of experience in running workshops, masterclasses and teaching in various online group coaching programs to my role as your keynote speaker.
From artists and designers, to corporate teams and small business owners, I’m known for not shying away from the big ideas and challenging topics. I love presenting to people from all different walks of life all united by one thing: a desire to grow from the shit that happens to us.
If you’ve got an event coming up and you’d like to add some inspiration and creativity into the mix, let’s start a conversation.
