Using appreciation and celebration as catalysts for meaning, joy, connection and flourishing

Transformation Through Celebration

Get in touch

How I Work

My work blends psychology, lived experience and leadership across change, culture and event design.

At its core is a shift towards presence, meaning and connection.

Life Mixology guides how we understand how we show up and work consciously with what is already there.

Celebration and appreciation are essential practices for wellbeing and culture.

Grounded. Practical. Human.

Ways to Work Together

Four pathways. Each designed for transformation.

Training & Workshops

I speak to audiences about reclaiming joy, presence and connection in work and life. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience and lived experience, these talks explore celebration as a transformative practice. Not as an event, but as a way of being that builds resilience, deepens relationships and restores vitality.

These keynotes offer practical frameworks grounded in purpose and possibility, supporting leaders, teams and communities navigating change or seeking more aliveness in how they work and gather.

Topics commonly include leadership, transformation, workplace wellbeing, community engagement and event design. All talks are tailored to the audience and context.

Speaking & Keynotes

Reframing how we understand celebration, joy and leadership

Celebration as a catalyst for wellbeing, culture and connection

I design experiential workshops that support wellbeing, presence and meaningful engagement in life and at work. Using celebration and appreciation as practical, human tools, this work strengthens culture, connection and morale, both in everyday settings and during periods of change.

The work is reflective, participatory and grounded, supporting people in reconnecting with what matters and how they show up, individually and collectively. Sessions range from short workshops to longer programmes, shaped to suit context and need.

Best suited to teams, leadership groups, wellbeing initiatives, organisational development work and event professionals seeking more people-centred experiences.

Sometimes a workshop is not enough. What is needed is clear thinking, experienced guidance and a trusted thought partner who understands both transformation and delivery.

My consulting work supports organisations, festivals and event leaders who want to refresh, reframe or refocus how celebration shows up in their work, culture or public-facing experiences. This includes event and festival strategy, culture design, reimagining rituals, and aligning intention, experience and legacy.

This work is strategic, reflective and practical. It brings clarity to what matters and supports experiences that feel enlivening and meaningful. In some cases, this leads into deeper support around celebrations of particular significance.

Consulting

Strategic guidance for events, organisational culture and celebration initiatives

The Alchemising Studio is where I work closely with a small number of event professionals, creative leads and highly invested clients on celebration-led work at the intersection of design and leadership.

This is upstream work. We clarify purpose and direction before pressure takes over. Studio work brings together celebration design thinking, creative development, intuitive decision-making and leadership presence under pressure.

The Studio includes focused Creative Intensives and Bespoke Studio Projects for celebrations of genuine significance. This work honours the process as part of the experience. Availability is limited and by application.

No. My work focuses on leadership, design thinking, presence and the human dimensions that create meaningful experiences. Delivery sits with you or your team.

Yes. I work with organisations on wellbeing, leadership, culture, connection and celebration-led change. My background includes organisational development, executive leadership and public-sector advisory roles.

Absolutely. I work with event designers, producers and creative leads who want greater clarity, confidence and coherence in high-stakes or complex work.

This includes professionals seeking growth in both craft and self – because aligned people create aligned events.

Yes, through Bespoke Studio Projects.

This work is for individuals or small groups stewarding celebrations of genuine significance, such as milestone moments, life transitions or legacy gatherings, where care, discernment and depth matter.

Studio work honours the process as part of the experience. It is reflective, strategic and creative, supporting clarity, confidence and intentional decision-making, not just the final outcome.

Availability is limited. Studio work is by application.

Occasionally, and always in context.

Ceremony work sits within Bespoke Studio Projects and is approached as part of a wider transformational journey, not as a standalone service. This might include co-creating or stewarding a ceremony where meaning, intention and emotional integrity are central to the experience.

I don’t offer templated or transactional ceremonies. When I do work in this way, it’s because the process itself matters as much as the moment.

Yes. I work both virtually and in person across Ireland, UK, and internationally where there’s a strong fit.

Fees vary depending on scope and format. Speaking, workshops, consulting and Studio work are all quoted based on context and requirements.

For speaking engagements, I recommend booking 3-6 months ahead where possible. Training, consulting and Studio work timelines vary depending on scope. Contact me to discuss your timeframe.
