connection to our selves, others and community is the essence of We are Wildflowers
Polly Hammerton - Founder, Nature-based Speech Therapist
Leader of connection-based programs such as neurodiverse women’s circle, nature-play and teen connect, Polly’s nearly decade-long career has passionately centred around communication, connection and relationships.
Polly weaves her rich personal experiences with her love for nature into a safe space that gently invites curiosity and a deepening connection to our selves, others and the natural world.
We are Wildflowers grew from a desire to offer a more intuitive, intimate and inclusive approach to wellbeing through offerings that promote self-care, social inclusion and self-expression. A space to bring our whole, wild selves.
Polly devotes We are Wildflowers to her triplet brother Pierce, who lived his life thriving with the fierce supports of his loving family and community.
