Education
Floristry is a unique world—whether you’re side-hustling or fully in it, it comes with challenges. I’ve faced them all over 20+ years: from burnout to leftover blooms, cash flow struggles to finding my worth.
I’m a wife, a mum, and a business owner—and I’m here to help you define your version of success.
This industry isn’t all sunshine and roses (pun intended), and I believe in sharing the real stuff—the wins and the hard lessons. That’s why I offer a mix of online and in-studio workshops, plus floral retreats to help you and your business truly bloom.
