Testimonials

You filled me with such warmth and reassurance. I have never in my life felt comfortable in my skin to draw or create art so thank you
Katy Warriner – Botanical Art at Women’s Business Wellness Retreat, April 2023

I can’t thank you enough. I’m going to draw the feeling of the Borage as a cascade though my body as an after image. I totally loved the whole experience. You are such an amazing creative midwife. I learnt so much, you couldn’t give me more.

I don't think there is anyone else out there with Eleanor's experience and heart to give us something so unique, touching and beautiful. Her art class seemingly invites you to create, draw and paint, but brushes are merely a tool. What it actually teaches you is a technique, showing you a way to connect to the greater consciousness, something that isn't solely contained within our physical shapes.

We were aware of the breathing element you brought – contraction and then loosening. We came to a place that felt so open, carefully, and sensitively orchestrated. A phenomenal observation of the plants.

Eleanor’s healings are amazing and a completely unique experience. I have had many, and each time I leave feeling both relaxed and grounded but also stronger to face whatever challenges life throws.

I have worked with Eleanor on several occasions to use drawing to help myself and my herbal students develop a more intuitive relationship with the plants we use in our daily practice. Eleanor creates a safe space where, as we draw, we start to look, then as we come more and more into the present moment, we look more deeply and eventually ‘feel’ a plant through our drawing of it. There is something really magical about this process and it helps us re-establish our ancient connection, respect and care for the plant world.

This was by far the most incredible way to learn and digest everything we’ve been thinking about. It’s reminded me how much I used to draw and what it gave me. I feel touched, rested and now want to do more drawing.

“Thank you so much for the beautiful day. I loved every aspect of it – it was very liberating to be given permission to draw so freely without worrying about what was on the paper. I love the free writing element too and it has reawakened a joy for writing in me. I found the whole day a deeply emotional experience. I was actually trembling by the time I got home. I found your words really struck a chord with me – and it is time for me to find a way to help others.”
Tish King Fretts, The Language of Flowers Workshop 2019
