The face of Innervative Creatives…

Creative Arts Practitioner
BA Hons Therapeutic Arts
Welcome!
I’m Lois — a creative arts practitioner passionate about the power of creativity to support wellbeing, spark personal expression, build community, and ultimately, cultivate our collective evolution. Working at the intersection of creativity and wellness, my practice is rooted in the belief that creativity and play are part of our nature — a fundamental way we connect, communicate, and make meaning.
I design and deliver multi disciplinary arts-based programmes that foster connection and self-expression through movement, sound making, theatre and visual art, with the intention of facilitating creative experiences that nurture mental health, resilience, and a deeper sense of community belonging.
At the heart of my practice is a simple truth: we are all innately creative. Through the arts I create spaces where individuals and communities can explore that truth — provoking curiosity, connection, and self-expression through the creative process to reconnect people with this natural capacity. My sessions are shaped by joy, autonomy, and shared experience. I endeavour to create inclusive, accessible spaces where people can explore whilst supporting their wellness and sense of belonging.
Inspired by my travels and ethnomusicological studies in Brazil, Cuba and Colombia, my approach is influenced by the ancient human traditions of collaborative art making as a means of expressing culture and history, and my studies in Therapeutic Arts have grounded my approach in cooperative pedagogical practices. Through this work, I aim to honour the richness of lived experience and to celebrate cultural identity and nurture belonging — holding space for creativity not just as expression, but as a form of social activism and as a catalyst for collective growth.

"Lois is very intuitive to the groups energy, and taking the activities step by step so everyone can feel included and participate. During the workshop I could let go of the rigidly of seriousness (...) Lois held an impeccable space, guiding us with so much presence and enthusiasm - showing us all how to tap into joy and aliveness!" (Participant 2025)
