Great Inspirations
My greatest inspiration is creativity, in all it’s forms. I love the process, the craft, the resourcefulness, the innovation and imagination always working towards that end result.
Creativity is my outlet and a way for me to process, express and communicate. If you’d like to see some of what I do, check out my YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@RavenCandP
My dad and my brother inspire me, with their business; Raven Repair Service. They are building and repairing a family legacy in the world of Plant (heavy machinery).
I am inspired by nature, I belong outdoors. I love animals and I’m in awe of their resilience, resourcefulness and their instincts.
My course tutor took me on a guided visualisation to meet my ‘Power Animal’. This was a captivating and transcendental experience, which I gained so much from. It’s inspired me to be the person and therapist that I am and want to be. I’m eternally grateful for this Fabienne, thank you.
My connection with my dogs is profoundly deep and our bond unbreakable. They are my daily inspiration and motivation (and alarm clock)!
I have met and worked with so many inspirational people and I would like to list them but as some are clients, it wouldn’t be ethical to list them all, so I won’t.
Just know that if we have had a genuine connection, you have inspired and made an impact on me and I value and appreciate you immensely.
Instead, I will list some content that inspires me… feel free to check them out.
