Deepen your Practice

You are deeply called to flowers, but how do you build or uplevel your dream?  Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, unsure of your next steps, or seeking a path forward for your floral artistry journey, you do not have to navigate it alone.

Experience tailored, transformative guidance and insightful instruction through our holistic workshops & mentorships with Jen, founder of Nectar & Bloom

Whether you're seeking immersive one-on-one mentorship, an enriching experience for your group, or space to refine your craft in the company of fellow floral artists, these experiences are designed to support and inspire — helping you cultivate both your creativity and your purpose in floral artistry.

Industry Expertise

Having built a successful floral business from the ground up, Jen brings in-depth and firsthand experience to workshops from her years of working with clients on high-end weddings, events, editorial shoots, brand partnerships, and more. You’ll learn from her successes, her favorite tips and carefully honed strategies, and essential insights she learned along her own floristry journey.

“Workshops and mentorships are such deeply enriching experiences in-person and in real time — either with a small group of fellow creatives or one-on-one with me — in a space devoted solely to nourishing your creativity. I love sharing inspiring and sustainable floral artistry practices with you in the synergistic company of one another. It’s all about connection and transformation for me — getting to help build that with you through these intimate creative experiences is the reason I do what I do.”

HOLISTIC APPROACH

As a certified yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, and Ayurvedic health counselor, Jen encourages her students to prioritize balance and wellbeing as floral artists, which she teaches is essential to building a successful and sustainable business rooted in purpose and passion.

Jen’s teachings go beyond solely practical business and design applications by also providing support for the creative mind, soul, and body. Her workshops often include wellness tools to support your full being, from healing stretches and movement, to mindset practices, and a holistic approach to entrepreneurship and lifestyle.

Workshop FAQs

I haven't started my floral career professionally yet. Is mentorship still available to me?

Mentorship is available to anyone interested in a career in the floral industry or in developing a floral artistry practice - whether you have a decade of experience already, or it's still simply a desire in your heart.

One-on-one sessions are a wonderful catalyst to get you moving towards the next steps to make your career dreams a reality.

How do I know if it's the right time to invest in a floral mentorship?

Jen always begins with a free discovery call to meet and discuss your interests, pain points, goals, and questions so you can feel at ease as you navigate this exciting step in your floral artistry journey.

Floral artists of all levels and from all walks of life come for mentorships, from taking the first step into a dream career to making a career pivot to stepping into an aligned expansion in your business, so know that these experiences are tailored to you and to empowering you forward in your dream.

Jen's Studio Immersions and Business Coaching offerings are designed to help support your growth, confidence, and successful journey in floral artistry in a way that empowers you to thrive in an authentic and fulfilling floral practice of your dreams.

I know broadly what I want to do, but I have no idea where to start or which step to take first. Can you help with that?

100% yes. My actual jam is in meeting you where your spark of desire is, no matter how wild your idea or how big a pivot you are making, and guiding you into an empowered plan of action. For me, it is indescribably fulfilling to help my mentees go from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to feeling crystal clear and excited, not to mention confident, about the next steps to take in building their dream. I've done it myself many times in the journey of building and growing Nectar & Bloom, and it is my passion to empower you on your journey into your next dream or calling too.
