Welcome to Calm Creates Calm

When we nurture our own inner peace, it ripples outward to everyone around us.

After leaving the fast paced corporate world to prioritise my own mental wellbeing, I embarked on an inner journey to reconnect with my true passions, trust my intuition, and build a more intentional life. Today, through Calm Creates Calm, I share creative and mindful tools that help me, helping you quieten the noise of the outside world and trust the process.

Grounded in a love for the outdoors, flowers, and intuitive watercolour painting, my work is all about slowing down, letting go of perfection, and reconnecting with yourself.

Immersive Workshops: Visually inspiring, grounding creative experiences designed as a gentle journey back to yourself.

The Mindful Bloom: Launching in January 2027 a 12-month botanical watercolour and mindfulness subscription for adults, complete with a supportive online community.

The Magical Mind: Empowering young minds through creative well-being available via downloadable resources, in person facilitation, and staff training for organisations.

Proudly trusted by the University of Glasgow, University of Stirling, Crossbasket Castle, Calum’s Cabin, and businesses across Scotland.

What Sets Calm Creates Calm Apart

In the creative wellbeing space, authenticity is everything and nothing here is outsourced, templated, or surface-level.

Created from Truth & Lived Experience: Everything I offer is born directly from my own mental well-being journey. I don’t share theories from a textbook; I create from the heart, sharing the practices that carried me from corporate burnout to creative alignment.

Built Word by Word, Piece by Piece: I know my business inside and out because I built every single part of it myself. From designing my own website from scratch to crafting my social media and online presence, I do the behind the scenes hard work to ensure that every touchpoint genuinely reflects who I am.

Hands On Integrity: I never simply create an idea and hand it off for someone else to put out into the world. I care deeply about understanding how things work from the behind the scenes details to the final brushstroke so that when you step into a workshop, download a resource, or join our community, you are experiencing something crafted with complete care, consistency, and heart.


  • Watercolour is uniquely calming because you cannot fully control it. Unlike thicker paints, water moves, blooms, and blends on its own gently teaching you to let go of perfectionism. Because it requires very little setup and demands gentle, present moment focus, watercolour helps quiet a busy mind, reduce screen fatigue, and guide you into a soothing state of creative flow.

  • When you are stressed or overwhelmed, trying to think or talk your way through it isn't always enough. Creative well-being gets you out of your head and into your heart. Research shows that just 45 minutes of making visual art significantly lowers cortisol (the body’s primary stress hormone)regardless of your artistic skill level. It gives your nervous system a safe, non Verbal space to reset, release tension, and recharge.
