Healing-Centred design®
We help people, organisations and partnerships create healthy work cultures using Healing-Centred Design.
‘Healing’ means mending the things that are not working, and tending to the things that are.
‘Centred’ means orientating away from pain (harm, being ‘done to’) and gathering personal and collective power (purpose, choice, ‘doing with’)
‘Design’ means developing practices and processes that support healing rather than harm, to change you own, and others, lives and futures.

Development day with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Leadership team
Our founder had joked about "another planning day surrounded by post-it notes".. but it was so far from this, with so much creativity and even a bit of storytelling, we now have our plan for the next 3 years.
Thank you so much Kerry.
