✨ Meet Anissa Young from Feel Young Therapy ✨

We're thrilled to welcome Anissa to our Winter Wellness Evening.
Known for her calm, grounded nature and refreshingly honest approach, Anissa helps women reconnect with themselves through nervous system regulation, healing and self-awareness.

Still recovering from the absolute chaos, creativity, laughs and accidental masterpieces from our Paint & Sip networking night for Hastings Business Women's Network 🎨🍷✨

What started as “let’s do a networking event” somehow turned into women swapping business stories, painting emotional support canvases, oversharing in the best way possible and cheering each other on like we’d all known each other for years.

Exactly the kind of energy we love.
Real conversations. Real connections. A little paint under the fingernails. A little chaos. Perfect.

A huge thank you to Bianca & Dylan from The Witchy Nook for hosting the night and bringing the chaos, creativity and connection together in the most beautifully unhinged way possible 🖤

And a massive thank you to our sponsor, Elomou Interiors, for supporting an event focused on community, creativity and women supporting women in business. We appreciate your support so much ✨

And of course, the biggest thank you to Lucy Humphries for capturing the night so perfectly. The laughter, the paint splatters, the candid moments, the wine-fuelled confidence and the accidental masterpieces… somehow you caught it all 📸

Already planning the next round of chaos 👀🍷
