If you’d told Helen Smith ten years ago that she’d be running sold-out craft classes, leading a thriving creative community and launching her own membership, she’d probably have laughed. She didn’t grow up crafting. She dropped art at school. She couldn’t even sew a button on until her mid-forties.
And yet today, Helen is the heart and hands behind The Cheerful Crafter. A business built on confidence, creativity and connection.
When you step into Michele’s therapy room at Kasama Well-being, the first thing you notice is the feeling.
It’s calm and quietly powerful. Crystal clusters, Colour Mirrors bottles, and a sense that this is somewhere you can finally exhale.
Michele is a complementary therapist specialising in energy healing and energy psychology. She works with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Reiki, Colour Mirrors bottle readings, numerology, crystal energy and more, all centred around one aim: helping people move from pain, stuckness and overwhelm into ease, clarity and relief.
I’ve known Laura for over a year now through my Accountability Package, and watching her business grow has been a joy. What she’s building is so needed and the heart she brings to it is something you feel the moment you meet her.
Some careers arrive with a plan. Others unfold quietly, one decision at a time, until one day you look back and realise you’ve walked yourself into exactly the right place.

From Nervous to Empowered: A Real Client's Brand Shoot Experience
One of the things I hear most from women before their brand shoot is, “I’m not sure how I’ll feel in front of the camera” or “I’m not photogenic!”
And honestly? That’s completely normal.
So I thought I’d share a behind-the-scenes look at a recent shoot — straight from the client herself — to show you just how powerful (and surprisingly uplifting) the experience can be.
Your Visuals Are Speaking for You - But Are They Saying The Right Thing?
We’ve all heard that saying “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover,” but let’s be honest – we do it all the time, especially online.
When somone stumbles across your website, scrolls past your Instagram post, or lands on your LinkedIn profile, they’re already forming an opinion about you within seconds. The first thing they notice? Your visuals.
Understanding Lighting
The most crucial element of photography isn’t the equipment – regardless of how expensive or fancy – but it’s actually light. Surprised? Well, here’s why…
Light is far more than simply being dark or bright. It’s a whole range of delicate tones. How light falls on the subject, how we pull detail from the shadows and highlights – these are crucial in making the subject come alive.
