Flourish is OPEN to the public! πŸ“£


Hey everyone,
​
TODAY'S THE DAY that the doors of Flourish fling open to the public after the waitlist early bird launch.
​
​There are still places up for grabs on both the GROUP STRAND and the 1:1 STRAND.
​
If you've been following Flourish for the past 3 cycles you might be asking 'Wait? there are STRANDS this time?!'
​
​YES! You can read all about the new programme structure and contents below (or go direct to the website!)
​
​
But first if you do NOT want to receive any more emails about Flourish BUT you would like to remain on my list for newsletters, workshop alerts or freebies, behold this gigantic button (which will ALSO appear at the footer of every Flourish email so you can opt out at any time):

​
​πŸ₯β€‹
and now DRUM ROLL...

(ok, imagine i'm swishing a red velvet curtain out of the way)

Flourish Refurbished!
CYCLE 4: THE FACTS

WHAT is it?​​
​
A 3 month online coaching programme for aerialists to deepen and enrich your aerial practice: technique, creativity, consistency and confidence.
​
​WHEN does it run?​
​October 4 - December 19 2026.
​
It's ENROLLING NOW! and doors close midnight Tuesday 22 September.​
​
​​HOW does it work? ​​
There's a core of GROUP CLASSES (1.5 hours) every 2 weeks. These are off-apparatus but include guided movement and bodywork (can be done in any space), reflective exercises, choreographic strategies to guide you through a process of building a resilient and enjoyable aerial movement practice. You also get optional creative assignments.All of this with WhatsApp support from me. You can then add on 1:1 LESSONS for skill coaching and/or creative mentorship.
​
​WHAT'S included?​
​Both strands (group and 1:1):​
πŸ“6 x GROUP CLASSES
​
πŸ“1:1 CHECK IN CALL (30 mins)​
​
πŸ“CREATIVE assignments​
πŸ“MASTERCLASS LIBRARY lifetime access to >12
πŸ“WhatsApp COMMUNITY include nerds and creative chats to dig into technique or share creative work
​
​1:1 strand only:
​
πŸ“ALL THE ABOVE PLUS:​
πŸ“3 x 1:1 LESSONS for skill coaching OR creative mentorship/act development
πŸ“Unlimited VIDEO FEEDBACK​
πŸ“Unlimited WhatsApp 1:1 SUPPORT​
​
​​WHO is it for? ​​
β€‹πŸ“1:1 strand is for:
​
EXPERIENCED aerialists who want detailed SKILLS COACHING for rope or sling OR CREATIVE MENTORING for any apparatus (I'm suuuuper suuuuper excited to be working with someone on their flying pole act this cycle!)
​

πŸ“group strand is for:​
​
ANY aerialist who wants to build a better relationship with their training balance technique with creation, dig into some nerdy aerial theory, movement quality and body awareness (you know i used to be a dance degree university lecturer, right?!)​
​

​
​WHY did I create it?​​
The SHORT answer is because I love coaching skills AND I also love coaching the real humans behind it:
​
I’m convinced that aerialists learn skills and create better when we’re equipped with the tools to build a a whole aerial practice that we LOVE, that we can show up consistently, grows with us for the long haul, that centres our humanity and expands our movement capacity.
​
The LONG answer is... longer and much more personal so I've written a blog about it (see below)

Blog Excerpt

The Flourish backstory...

"Why I updated my online aerial coaching programme to include something way more than β€˜just’ skills… the tools to use our aerial practice to support our emotional resilience in a difficult world.​
​
A few weeks ago I was preparing myself to relaunch my online coaching programme, which ran for three cycles from 2024-25 before I took some time away to spend with my dog Cai after he had a terminal cancer diagnosis..." --> read the full story

Hey everyone,Flourish is still enrolling (but only for 36 more hours - you can get in on that here!) and one of my favourite things about onboarding is asking Flourish students to DM me their aerial mood board - that's up to 10 IG reels or posts which give me a sense of their current interests and goals. Because most aerialists tend to have a shopping list of 500000 skills, I stipulate ONLY 3 skills with the rest focusing on movement quality, choreographic detail, values, whimsy or anything...
