I joined MHHSBD in the beginning of 2024 and received some amazing support online, this led to the first part of my business becoming funded on my Indiegogo campaign on the 1st January 2024, this was the start of a snowball effect!

I then went on to win several awards, the SmartSocial and on the 1st April 2024 the SBS Theo Paphitis award.

I am the creator and maker of the multi award winning Beginners Mindful Crochet Kit - "Seedlings"

Why combine crochet and mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a therapeutic practice which teaches you to feel at ease being in the present moment, this allows us to slow down, to stop thinking about the million and 1 things swimming around in our heads and to fully focus on just one thing.

When we create something (crocheting the blanket) it promotes a sense of accomplishment which in return releases Dopamine.

Dopamine is the hormone which lets your brain know that you have achieved something, it causes us to feel happy and motivated and increases our focus.

So, I combined these two things - creation and mindfulness.

Creating something mindfully can lead to an overall sense of calm, achievement and positive mental well being.

Disclaimer:
I am not a medical professional. The creation of my mindful crochet kit has come solely from my own personal experience and has been trialled with a focus group, it worked for me on my dark days, it is not intended to replace any therapy or medication that you currently take, it is simply another tool for you to use to see if it helps.

If you are feeling low please reach out to a professional service in your area, you can always message me on any social media site and I will listen and try to help in any way that I can.
