I am a passionate advocate for mental health, drawing from a background as a Fashion Lecturer, Fashion Designer and as a Neurologist Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Life Coach. My journey has been shaped by an understanding of the intricate connections between the mind, the language we use, our life experiences, programming and how this impacts our wellbeing, coupled with a love of fashion and self-expression through clothing.

Having spent years in academia as a Fashion lecturer, working with young adults as an NLP practitioner and as a parent to two young adults, I have witnessed first hand the challenges faced by young adults; navigating the complexities of life, exams, academia, first jobs, personal growth and identity. Social media, the pandemic and the pressures of the world that young adults live in today has resulted in a mental health crisis.

This has fuelled my commitment to explore a holistic approach to mental health, recognising the profound impact it has on one’s ability to thrive in all aspects of life. By delving into the intricate interplay between our minds, the language we use and our behaviours, I provide you with practical, evidence-based tools to enhance your mental resilience and foster a positive mindset which will empower you on your journey to wellbeing.

In addition to this, utilising my knowledge of fashion, colour psychology and the profound impact that clothing can have on one’s sense of self expression and confidence, I have created a space where fashion becomes a conduit for inner peace and contentment.

In addition, my personal journey with bereavement, divorce, ill-health, menopause and the tribulations of life help me to support and work with women in their ‘mid-life’.

I support individuals as they ‘find themselves’ again and learn to thrive as they enter a new chapter of their lives whilst navigating the inevitable challenges and complexities of modern life. It is hugely rewarding and essential for their wellbeing and resilience.

This fusion of fashion and the mind forms the foundation of Mind Threads, where each piece of clothing, that you create, is a wearable toolkit designed to nurture your mental wellbeing and elevate your overall wellness.

Elevate your mind. Elevate your mood. Empower your wardrobe.

This is a unique and transformative journey towards mental wellbeing, welcome.
