Who are we?
Lianne - Florist
I am a corporate stooge who found joy in creating with florals. I studied at the Cambridge Flower School where we learnt all areas of floristry including funerals, weddings, commercial and the classic gifting options.
Beth - Yoga Teacher
I work in big law, and have loved yoga since I was a stressed out university student. Now I find joy in sharing it with others. I qualified with Yoga Haven in London, with a preference for vinyasa yoga, and I teach at Thames Estuary Yacht Club, provide one-to-one yoga coaching, and teach at another studio in Southend-on-Sea.
