Creative Resilience

My work helps world-weary nature lovers and leaders relax, unwind and restore their relationship with nature and creativity — so they can continue their vital work.

My support is rooted in interdisciplinary research and draws on the power of observation, nature connection and creativity, to regulate mood, restore hope and strengthen resilience.

Observing, Reflecting, Connecting

My creative resilience work often begins with Green Sketching, a rewarding and accessible way to support nature connection and wellbeing.

Sessions can take place indoors or outdoors, whether supporting wellbeing at work or sparking fresh ideas at conferences.

Bespoke Support

As relationships develop, I’m sometimes invited into purpose-led projects and teams to share my interdisciplinary observations and perspectives.

I also work one-to-one with purpose-led leaders who want to restore their own relationship with nature and creativity.

My work draws on experience across academia, NGOs, industry, education, and international organisations.

This work always begins in conversation, so if you’re curious, I’d be very happy to talk.

‘I organised a staff event for Staffordshire Wildlife Trust colleagues. Our day with Ali was full of kindnesses and joy. Ali's delivery style is friendly and she easily built rapport with our different personalities. We learned more about ourselves and about one another; it was a brilliant team building opportunity, as well as a chance to simply exist in each other's company, silently or with gentle conversation. The day was hugely successful, and I'd book another workshop in a heartbeat.’
