Community - Wellbeing - Creativity
Where It All Began
Andrea has always enjoyed being a creative entrepreneur and has run several businesses over the years. From a retail shop and interior consultancy, tutoring and mentoring. However, she never enjoyed networking. Networking has its place, but it didn't suit her needs as a creative business owner. The noisy, high-pressure environment of traditional networking events made her uncomfortable. She often felt overwhelmed and struggled to effectively communicate her business in the short time allocated for pitches.
Given her own experiences, Andrea wanted to create a networking group tailored to female creative and wellbeing businesses. She understood the isolation that comes with working in these fields and wanted to provide a supportive environment where like-minded individuals could connect and thrive. After feeling lonely and isolated in her own business, her breakthrough idea came during a nature walk with her dog. She founded the Creative Wellbeing Circle, a netwalking group for female creative and wellbeing entrepreneurs, which has seen steady growth since its inception, now with multiple local netwalking groups and hosts in different areas including Europe on the horizon.
And so, that was when the 'Creative Wellbeing Circle' was born. Andrea and the netwalking Hosts would like to invite you to join them on what is already proving to be a very exciting adventure! As women in creative and wellbeing professions, they are passionate about building a supportive community where they can create meaningful relationships and empower each other in their personal and professional growth. There is something very empowering about bringing like-minded women together."
Come, join in our community of amazing women and feel the love, support and empowerment we give to each other throughout our life and business journeys.
Warmest Wishes
Andrea

Wellbeing Interior designer - Surface Pattern Designer
As an interior designer for over 20 years, she has run her own brick-and-mortar shop for 5 years, offering interior consultancy and accessories. Creating home environments that evoke positive emotions is one of her passions. She also teaches well-being and sustainable interior design courses. Another passion of hers is designing patterns for fabrics, wallpapers, and stationery, drawing inspiration from nature and her travels.
She has 3 adult sons and a 15-year-old son who came into their lives as a foster child at 2 1/2 years old, and they adopted him at 4 years old. Her interest in Neuroplasticity began while fostering and helping children with trauma rewire their thought processes, leading to amazing transformations.
As an introvert, she finds joy in spending time alone, being creative, and immersing herself in nature. She also appreciates connecting with like-minded women and sharing entrepreneurial journeys, which is never straightforward. With Rosie as her design assistant, she loves spending time in nature, going on family road trips in their motorhome, gardening, practicing yoga, and reading whenever she can steal a moment.
