A little bit about Creating Space...and me
Set up in late 2024, my vision for Creating Space - was just that...to help people carve some time and space out for themselves and to enhance that with lovely, meaningful things. The products in our wellbeing boxes were inspired by the things that bring me small moments of happiness — vivid colours, flowers (that don't die!), soothing and cleansing scents, natural products delivered by nature and the grounding power of essential oils.
My story is one of my quest for balance. I've always loved the energy of a busy life – solo parenting much of the year whilst running more than one business at a time, dancing with friends in my kitchen, more than the occasional cocktail, travelling, playdates where there's eight 7 year old boys running wild in my house… my life isn't for the faint-hearted and I get told I'm crazy, a lot! So, finding those grounding moments in simple, beautiful rituals is what keeps me off my knees - most of the time!
My greatest “aha” moment came during a particularly stressful time in my life, when a dear friend, Sadna, introduced me to the magic of crystals and meditation. I discovered how to breathe, slow down (just a little), and focus and find happiness in the little things.
Nature for me is what fills my cup up - being outside, cold water swimming or paddle boarding, walking barefoot on a beach, a forest adventure, exploring Scotland with my boys (my ultimate happy place), appreciating a clear night's sky or even just sitting on my front wall on the lighter mornings watching the sun rise with a green tea! Bliss!
And while it’s taken me years of dipping in and out, even with a recent ADHD diagnosis, I’ve learned there’s always a way to create peace, even if it’s fleeting.
That’s exactly what Creating Space is about — finding and celebrating those pockets of joy and calm, no matter how hectic life may be. Every gift box I create is a reflection of things that bring me happiness, grounding, and balance. They’re filled with care, mindfulness, and small treasures I’d genuinely love to receive.
