Welcome to Gentle Creative

Gentle Warrior Cali Bird

Do you need someone to remind you to go gentle on yourself?

Are you running a business? Do you feel overwhelmed and need someone to talk to?

Is there a creative goal that’s been bugging you for years, and now it’s time to do it?

Hello. I’m Cali Bird.

I’m a firm believer in being kind to yourself. I never used to be that way. I used to push myself very hard.

Ambition, productivity, achievement – they were my drivers.

Then long-covid flattened me with fatigue. I’ve also coped with a family tragedy that has ongoing consequences.

Through these experiences I learnt to be kinder, nurturing and more loving way to myself.

Thankfully I’m now recovered from long-covid.  I’m so happy to be able to re-enter the world and be of service to others.

“I love reading Cali Bird and the way she writes with vivid detail about navigating through life’s unexpected turns. From having long covid to supporting her husband after his catastrophic brain injury to her most recent family challenge, Cali processes these events in what feels like real time, taking us through her thought process as she calms and steadies herself, righting the ship and finding her equilibrium. She’s a master at finding hope, even when it feels that all hope is lost. Cali proves that hope is always accessible. She is living proof that releasing our dependence on expectations can save us.”
