We can't wait for the next collaboration with Louisa! It was such a JOYFUL evening - and the perfect match of self-expressive collage making and our colourful reclaimed materials!

Working with Louisa Tan has been a joyful journey. Her approach is led by honesty, collaboration, and a strong commitment to her personal practice. During the workshop, her presence created a soothing and relaxing atmosphere, fostering joy, creativity, and meaningful engagement. She nurtured a space where participants felt safe to connect deeply with their surroundings and their feelings and perceptions of safety, expressing themselves through art and hands-on creative approaches.

Louisa was very inspiring, providing the audience with valuable techniques while encouraging them to reflect on themselves and express vulnerability in a creative and cathartic manner. We received lots of positive feedback from our community. They described the workshop as fun, mindful and uplifting, with everyone leaving with their own unique artwork.

Common Exception and Coco Lom immersed us in music while we drew with our eyes closed. Listening to the beat without thinking completely shifted my mindset, dissolving tension and clearing away distracting thoughts. By the time we moved on to creating collages, I felt fully relaxed, letting my artistic instincts take over. It was a transformative experience, where letting go of control and simply tuning into the music rhythm led to a more intuitive and authentic creativity.

The Negativity into Creativity workshop got me hooked. After the event, I had to book a mentoring session with Louisa. Last week, we had our session with loads of clarity on personal ideas and creativity-nurturing insights that I wanted to share: Have grace for yourself. Be patient with progress. 80% perfect is perfect enough. People come to you because of how you make them feel. Stay on your brand: if you are not walking the walk, how can you teach it? Stay creative, stay joyful.

I booked a coaching session as I’d been thinking of running workshops alongside my ceramics practice. The session was so inspiring and I found it the perfect mix of practical ideas and mindset work. I immediately felt at ease and able to talk through any challenges openly. Louisa offered another way of seeing things, along with helping me feel confident and supported in my decisions. The session really set me on the right trajectory to make the plans I needed to. My workshops are now up and running, and getting booked up!

Louisa is pure magic. Having her lead the creative workshop at my Antipodreaming brunch club event was honestly a dream. She brought such an incredible, inspiring energy into the room. You could feel everyone light up as she gently guided them to tap into their own creativity. Louisa has this amazing way of making people feel free, fearless, and excited to express themselves. She's an extraordinary creative and beautiful soul to work with.

I had a fantastic mentoring session with Louisa. She was incredibly friendly, supportive, and full of insightful ideas. I got so much value from our conversation. What really stood out was her follow-through after our call. That kind of support truly felt above and beyond. I highly recommend Louisa to any creative entrepreneur looking for guidance and clarity. I’m already planning to book a follow-up session once I’ve made progress on the action steps we outlined!

Thank you for organising such an inspirational workshop! I enjoyed that 120%! Your event gave me a new feeling about the chemistry between music and handwork.

Girrrrrrl!!! With all your help I am top dog with Meta. I still need to jump through some hoops, but I am the one they've chosen.
