About Crafty Calm

Crafty Calm was created to bring together creativity, calm, and connection through relaxing craft workshops in Essex.

Set in a peaceful garden studio, each session is designed to help you slow down, focus, and enjoy making something with your hands.

A space where you can slow down, create, and leave feeling a little more like yourself again

About Me

I'm a workplace coach who helps to create calm and support positive mindset change. I specialise in menopause coaching and neurodiversity coaching.

Through my work I've seen how powerful it is when people are given permission to slow down and step out of constant pressure.

Often this can be found by being purposely selfish, and taking a little time away from responsibilities to immerse in a creative, mindful activity.

As a coach, I’ve seen how important it is to have space to pause and reset. Crafting offers a simple, grounding way to do that — helping you focus, relax, and enjoy the moment without pressure or expectation.

Craft and nature offer a steady rhythm. Working with your hands shifts focus, settles the nervous system and creates space to think more clearly.

Crafty Calm brings together creativity, nature and meaningful connection in a small, supportive setting at The Hyde Away. Our peaceful Essex village location makes it the perfect space to find your calm.

What makes Crafty Calm different?

Small, friendly workshops (maximum 6 people)

A calm, non-judgemental environment

Step-by-step guidance throughout

Time and space to focus on yourself

It’s not about being “good” at crafting — it’s about enjoying the process

Thoughtfully created

Wherever possible, materials are reused, repurposed, or chosen with care.

Crafty Calm workshops aim to be gentle not only on you, but on the environment too.
