Hi, I’m Gillian – I run Circles & Shadows – a space for creative therapeutic practices, ocean-informed, embodied wellbeing. I am a Holistic Creative Therapist, aerialist, dancer, photographer and mermaid, working with movement, dance, myth and the sea as tools for reflection, regulation and self care.

Circles and Shadows brings together workshops, sessions, online resources and reflective practices for adults seeking gentler ways to reconnect with their bodies, creativity and sense of self. Inspired by sky, sea and summits!

My work is shaped by Holistic Intergrated Creative Arts practices and ocean therapy principles and inspired by sky, sea and summits.
It is my belief that creativity and movement doesn’t need to be performative, strenuous or output oriented to be meaningful.
I offer workshops, sessions, online resources and reflective practices for adults seeking gentler ways to reconnect with their bodies, creativity and sense of self.

My certifications include: Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy (HICAT) Practitioner, Ocean Therapy Practitioner, Blue Therapy Certification, Intuitive Coach Certification, Somatic Coach Certification, SNHS Dip. Professional Relaxation Therapy, SNHS Dip. Stress Management, SNHS Dip. Holistic Pain Management
