SUSTAINABILITY MENTORING

One-on-one SUSTAINABILITY guidance for creativeS, SCHOLARS & visionaries

Tired of sustainability advice that leaves you feeling more overwhelmed than inspired?

You want to create and live more sustainably because you truly care,
but most guidance you’ve come across focuses on what materials to swap rather than addressing why you feel disconnected from your creative work and industry in the first place.

You're not alone.

In a world where sustainability often feels like another burden to carry,
I invite you into something completely different.

The problem isn't that you don't care enough—it's that you've been offered ‘solutions’ that don't address the root of disconnection.

After almost twenty years in fashion-textile and design industries and academia, and a doctorate in pluriversal creative practices, I help creative professionals like yourself, reconnect with your purpose and integrate sustainability that emerges naturally from connection, joy, regeneration and reverence for the world you’re creating.

Most sustainability mentoring focuses on what to do.
I focus on how to be.

When we shift how you relate to your creative practice—developing deeper awareness, intuition, agency, connection to context, relationality, and clearer values—sustainability begins to emerge organically.

Through Our Journey Together, You'll:

Reconnect with your creativity, agency & purpose and understand how sustainability nourishes all of this through everyday practices.

Cultivate deeper relationships with materials, processes, tools, creativity, business and more.

Develop intuitive decision-making skills through all of your wisdom centres (spirit + heart + mind + body), that guide you toward sustainability choices that are right for you and your unique context.

Learn practices that energise rather than deplete you—creating from abundance rather than depletion.

Align your daily work with your long-term vision for positive impact for yourself, your community, the Earth and future generations.

Connect to your creative wisdom and visioning capabilities so that you can conjure up what's next with intention and joy.

Transform your relationship to sustainability from one of obligation to inspiration.

The Approach

This work is grounded in deep exploration and experimentation through a caring, playful and grounded approach that honours both ancient wisdom and contemporary creative challenges.

Through pioneering new (and very ancient) ways of being and creating, we’re creating sustainability—
and this may bring more intimacy, beauty, joy, purpose, pleasure & vitality to both your work and your life.

Methods we may explore together; energetic practices, embodied and somatic practices, place-sourced creative rituals, mindfulness and sensory explorations, visualisation and contemplative techniques and more.

No prior experience in these practices is necessary—only openness and curiosity to diverse ways of learning.

"I want others to know how powerful and transformational it is to create from this place. This work that you are sharing is revolutionary for the fashion industry, the planet, individuals, the collective, and future generations. It has truly been a great honor to work with you”. - Shauna

What clients are saying

  • Shauna, Designer-Creatrix, Mexico

    My experience has been so profound. I loved how we started the first session with really connecting to some core foundations of this work. And as each session progressed, really experiencing so much expansion around my brand and my art and connecting with it in ways I hadn’t before.

    The practices you gave me were resonant and also achievable. I found myself so inspired by each session, expanding how I view my art, practicing what we went over, and pondering these topics on deeper level. The work you shared resonated for me on a soul level. Your wisdom and expertise shined through in every moment. I felt held and understood with everything I shared. It has brought a new level of awareness to creation for me and how I desire to be creating, from a place of deep intention, reverence, and connection.

    This work is soul-led, heart centered, revolutionary work rooted in ancient wisdom, consciousness, and deep care.

  • beau clarke - Fashion educator & designer, australia

    I now begin classes and meetings with a brief connection ritual by checking-in, setting intention, an providing a minute to reset, which has lifted trust and willingness to share work-in-progress in my classroom environment, quite significantly. I’m coming more from a place of abundance; able to acknowledge the wins of mine and others instead of sprinting past them, and my ambition has steadied, and feel more grounded in my leadership roles. I feel more resourced by confidence; and have noticed I’m less rattled by other people’s energies in the workplace and am able to let negative opinions and criticism go much easier.

    I’m connecting more deliberately with my own resourcefulness and energy, setting clearer boundaries and expectations, and relating to my students and colleagues in deeper, more human-centred ways.

    These 1on1 sessions reconnected me to “why” I take on work the way I do with simple, repeatable ways to show up calmer, clear-minded and more relational; for myself, my students and my peers.

    I’d recommend this to educators, creative leads and sustainability practitioners who hold a lot for others and want grounded, non-performative ways to replenish, focus and collaborate with integrity.

  • Kristina Pinkert - Textile Artist & designer, SOUTH AFRICA

    My one-on-one sessions with Ania gave me the space to focus deeply on a specific project I wanted to bring into form. Through her gentle and insightful guidance, I was able to look beyond the surface, uncover the essence of my vision, and clarify how I truly want to show up in my work. 

    Ania led me through techniques that helped me turn inward, ask meaningful questions, and listen for the answers that were already there. Instead of trying to plan everything in advance, I learned to move forward through experience, to slow down, and to discover what I genuinely want to co-create. 

    In a world that often pulls us away from ourselves, Ania shows how to reconnect with our intuitive wisdom and spiritual grounding. The deeper we connect to our truth and intuition, the more gracefully we can navigate these times. And when we honour the rich inner worlds we carry, we contribute to a richer, more connected outer world.
