Weaving together tales from around the world I create vibrant and engaging story circles and my approach is very gentle and open-hearted. I also offer story workshops and use a colourful repertoire of ways to explore the world of the imagination and to encourage self-expression. Sessions can include music, movement, drama and the making of books or story objects. I work in many different settings –including pre-schools, primary and in special needs schools.

I am continually inspired by the people I meet and delight in the pleasure gained from sharing stories. I hold regular workshops for adults that celebrate the joy and beauty of storytelling and storymaking. Information about these is at www.creativebreaks.co.uk
