WHAT IS THE THRIVE PLACE?

The Thrive Place was created by Helen Russell; artist, facilitator and business advocate. We offer informative, friendly events, socials and business support sessions that seek to prevent burnout and encourage connectivity amongst sole traders and the self-employed.

We are passionate about getting business owners to include and equalise self care when developing their business plans. Our holistic approach explores the importance of personal wellbeing to business success and longevity. We aim to nurture good work/life habits, create sustainable physical and mental working practices and get people feeling excited about their future.

We would love you to thrive with us!

The Thrive Place Events

We create events that bring different disciplines, sectors and personalities together to explore the importance of balance between business and wellbeing. We encourage you to look outside of your own industry for innovative and best practice ideas with our informative, supportive, interactive and friendly sessions.

Time to get excited about your future!
