I was so out of touch with anything that wasn’t “work” or “life” responsibilities, I genuinely believed I wasn’t creative—and that I didn’t enjoy anything remotely crafty. But by the third afternoon on Nell’s stoep, to my own surprise, I found myself really enjoying the process. It felt like I had rediscovered a part of myself I didn’t even know was missing.

This experience gave me a beautiful, gentle way to detach from the heaviness of adulthood—a breath of fresh air for my soul. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves and their inner child in a safe, nurturing space. Thank you, Nell, for holding that space so beautifully.

Being part of the Embrace Self-Kindness journey has been a true gift.
Each month, gathering on the beautiful Lekker Plekkie stoep, I’m welcomed by Nell’s warm hospitality and uplifting insights. The creative activities after our delicious lunch with the most lovely group of women are my absolute favourite – they fill my soul. I’ve grown so much through this experience, not just in self-kindness, but in connection. We show up with honesty and vulnerability, embracing every aspect of who we are as women. It’s something I look forward to deeply each month.
