Nurturing Self-Belief Matters
Which is where diving into personal development helps
Because it stops you from hiding behind your creative practice where it:
- raises self-awareness
- builds the resilience to combat negative crits (inside and out)
- develop authentic emotional expression
- drive your critical thinking
- find that more ideas & innovation float to the surface
- enjoy filtering your own self-discoveries into your body of work
“Neuroscience research confirms that a growth mindset is fundamentally linked to the brain’s ability to change and adapt (through neural plasticity) which directly supports the personal growth that’s essential for artistic inspiration and creativity.”

Ruth’s Inability To Create Video’s
Because her nerves got the better of her in front of the camera
- She’s A Creative Body Worker
An incredibly creative practitioner with the playful ambition of creating a kids-style playground for adults. - She Couldn’t Relax
She didn’t feel natural on camera, and as a chatty person she couldn’t fathom it. - Ruth Did The Work
Once we got into it, she found the early childhood voices that had told her not to x, y, z. - The Results
Unprompted, she sent this saying she’d not realised how much was going on under the surface.
I come from a creative family
As a kid I loved dancing, a dancing gene if you will, inherited from my mum who danced her way through WWII. I didn’t get to fully seize the day, but made up for it on the club circuit dancing throughout my teens and early twenties.
Her Celtic roots side of the family was full of musicians and jokers, who used humour to cover their emotions. As a kid she took me to shows, cinema, museums, galleries, the library, just as her father did for her after a decade of being laid on a hospital bed not expected to walk. Then she did.
She loved music and household names in comedy, we listened to the radio and watched tv. This set me up a life-long love of all things cultural, diverse and inclusive.
The creative gene sat on her side, but a childhood spent outside her large family led to her own visibility issues. The death of my father impacted our little family, in rippled ways you don’t see it at the time. Which epitomises trauma.
Back in the day, the arts were a big part of my life, but in primary there was very little, until secondary. Today, with the levels of children’s mental health and neurodiversity issues, policy makers are ready to acknowledge the correlation, alongside the impact smartphones have had over the last 15-20 yrs.

“Diagnosed at 17, I had depression for 30-yrs along with chronic aches and pains. Even though I was very sceptical at first, I needn’t have been. Working with Jane all my symptoms stopped and they haven’t come back.”

It Took Too Long To Find Myself
Which got better after I started training
- Family & Celtic Roots
I come from a family background where my mum’s Celtic side is deeply rooted in music, the arts, film and comedy. My dad’s side is a blank page. - The South East Coast
Following my later-in-life degree I moved from Manchester to Folkestone, to be around for my nieces growing up. They’re wonderfully creative and inclusive. - Culture & Hobbies
I love character based films, documentaries, comedy and music, where back in the day dancing was my passion. I love discovering and writing about the human condition. - Travel Consultant
I worked in travel selling long-haul holidays, which took me to China, Kenya, Malaysia, South Africa and selling 7* water-bungalow properties, took me to the Maldives. - Independent Travel
Later I went on a group trip to Antarctica and tacked on Patagonia. I’ve also trekked round both islands in NZ.

Finding my creativity
My Celtic family background is brimming with creatives. My mum loved music and throughout my childhood we heard it on the radio, or the tv. In my teens I loved dancing and was clubbing at 14, which served as an outlet for my frustrated anger.
In school I was a class clown, which got me into trouble. Seemingly it was my first leap into words and wordplay, that when I started using EFT the tapping unlocked something intuitive and playful. Since then, I’ve dabbled. I’m now working on a healthy-sceptics self-help book.
Making My Life Make Sense
I’d wanted to be a teacher
I began finding purpose as a Youth Trainer I Wanted To Be A Teacher on becoming a practitioner my life began to make sense
- Youth Trainer
I spent the 1980’s supporting school-leavers into industry. I ran an in-house training café, and found trainee work. - Higher Education
As a mature student aiming to become a teacher I took a BSc (Hons) Consumer Science degree at MMU. - Travel Consultant
I became a travel consultant, taking trips to China, Kenya, Malaysia, South Africa & water bungalows in the Maldives. - Creatives Work-Life Balance Coach
In 2004, I fell into wearing a personal development hat when I started training in NLP with Bandler & McKenna. Which led to studying conscious & subconscious activity, early brain development and the ans (autonomic nervous system) including the vagus nerve.

The Polyvagal Theory In Therapy by Deb Dana
Working With Jane
Where does your creativity stem from
I grew up in a dysregulated family and significant research bears out that many creatives are driven to start developing their talents during a difficult childhood.
In my case and maybe yours too, without the support of just one co-regulated adult in the your tribe, it can be a struggle to self-regulate your emotions and behaviour. This is how stress impacts the system and builds as we age, if we don’t deal with the ripples they’ll continue to come and go.
The field of quantum biology understands far better how hyper-sensitivity triggers the trauma response. The psyche doesn’t require a big dramatic event to kickstart a programme of chronic health, mood or behaviour symptom responses. It’s where the model of most therapies fail to uncover underlying causation.
Why Creatives
Getting your early doors emotional needs met sets the scene. Finding a range of energy therapies moved me out of the ‘blame game’ into owning my shizzle. I love supporting fab creatives to work from the inside out.

In 2018 I attended a talk with David Whitebread that I wrote about for The Normal Festival Of The Brain. He advocated for play in the early years, and the detrimental impact of hover parenting on children’s adult life outcomes. It spoke to me. - Early Brain Development
I took Mine Conkbayir’s course Neuroscience & Self-Regulation for Early Years an introductory course that flags up how we get children pre-school ready by supporting their emotional wellbeing in the womb. - The vagus nerve
This major nerve plays a crucial part in the ‘rest and digest’ parasympathetic nervous system to enable relaxation. - Contact Email makingchange@janeunsworth.com
