Jade is incredible. My first believer and supporter. Graceful in handling every emotion and situation. She’s someone that’s made me feel safe yet equally challenged to grow, feel welcomed and most importantly VALUED and SEEN in every space that I’ve stepped in.

Working playfully has meant letting loose to me, not trying to perfect and control everything, but more importantly, it has meant being able to explore avenues without the excess fear or anxiety that I used to run through my body. I never thought I’d finally find the joy in falling over, a place that I’m comfortable and challenged enough to no longer let the fear paralyse my decisions or my future.

Having someone who makes you feel heard and is your biggest supporter, even when you don’t think it can be manifested into reality, Jade will help and push in every way to make sure it does. Ugh, I love her to bits. We have one-to-one sessions with her which solely focus on my development and growth both professionally and personally, to ensure that as young people we are taking the important actions to make our visions come true.

From emotional support in the most trialling times, to making your soul feel heard, Jade’s energy and wisdom is just incredibly vibrant and unlike any other person I’ve met. She has a natural desire to nurture young people, especially in my experience those with a vision to push for change and representation, and she has been incredible in helping me breakthrough into the fashion industry as well as help my visions come true in my own personal fashion and styling projects.

Jade’s mentoring always feels positive and constructive. I always feel I have actionable feedback and am empowered to carry out my goals.

Being happy is often a confusing goal to set for the future or in a career. Working with her to build routines and long/short term goals that include play in my day to day have helped me cope with stress and have a plan for my future that feels sustainable.

The goals and plan we create and aren’t just catered to me they genuinely come from my own desires and formed in a way that works for me. This makes a difference because I know I’m not being misdirected or confused by a framework I feel I need to adhere to. Jade also has a wealth of knowledge and somehow always provides useful insights and advice on what to do where to go and how to go about doing the work that the mentoring is based about.

Jade is one of the most understanding and non-judgmental people I know. I was very privileged to have had her as a mentor at one of the most crucial moments of my life back in 2018. She was so patient, loving and supportive.

Jade was my safe space. She is such a free-spirited and bubbly person, she’s full of so much love and life and effortlessly extends it to anyone she works with. She has made such a positive impact on my life, more than I can actually be grateful for. I am honestly blessed to have crossed paths with such a wholesome being.

I would highly recommend IMAP mentoring because Jade really supports you to become the best version of yourself. She wholeheartedly cares about you, your mental health and your future.

As a mentor Jade is the most naturally caring, knowledgeable and inspiring person I could have in my life. She has been able to inspire me when I’m in moments that I feel low and is constantly lifting me up with her words of encouragement and wisdom.

Jade's methods of “play” as a mentor is something that has been vital not just for me in my career but in LIFE. It’s given me a wider outlook and opened me up to being more fearless and open to coming out of my comfort zone so that I am able to grow as a person in this world.

She has made a huge difference in how I see the world almost as my own personal playground to grow, to fail, to get back up and to succeed. She has allowed me to embed play into my life and her work as a mentor has made me a more successful actor because of this idea of play and I now find myself trying out new things everyday because of her inspiration and kind words.

Jade is amazing , she offers heart felt, caring and loving advice that really builds up your confidence and creativity. She is someone who recognises and amplifies your gifts. Takes real time to get to know and support you. She means the world to me!✨🌎

One time where Jade really helped me was when I was feeling low and she got me to create a drawing that expressed my hopes/dreams and what makes me happy. From doing this, I created a piece of art but more importantly it helped me to become happy and reflect on good things in my life ✨

When I first started at FF I felt very shy and didn't feel like I fitted in or have much to offer at all but Jade worked with me and helped me realise the potential and gifts I have. She pushed me and by pushing me I've achieved things I thought I'd never do. She has been a consistently supportive loving person in my life and couldn't be happier to have her in my life.

Jade is someone who makes you feel like the only person in the world. She always takes her time to thoroughly listen and understand what you need or even just how you feel on a day-to-day basis. No problem is too small or too big for her to take on. She goes above and beyond for every individual that she comes into contact with.

Working with her has allowed me to acknowledge my emotions and feelings. Her space allows me to express them without any judgement.

I would recommend being mentored by Jade as she gives you the space to grow, in your own time. Her heart is one of a kind and inspiration to say the least. She advises you to work on yourself in different ways you may have not thought of first hand but definitely does work!

It’s truly a blessing to even just cross paths with her

With Jade I felt safe and truly listened to. Through facilitation she showed me the importance of learning through play, not just for children but adults as well. 5 years later I can confidently say this is something that has stayed with me

A timeless mentality from a trustworthy person.

A great mentor for sure. 🖤

Jade is one of the best mentors I've ever had. I don't currently have anyone who is more encouraging of the wildest of ambitions, the craziest career changes, the deepest dreams. I've had the honour of knowing Jade for a few years now and there's nothing I haven't come to her with.

There's no issue I feel I couldn't talk out with her. She encourages me to be as audacious as a child, she helps calm me down and remember that at the centre of creativity is play and fun and imagination. She's a credit to herself and her community.

I wouldn't be where I am in my career or in life without her. Any program she creates or co-signs to help do, she will do the same for others as she has done for me. She has my full and unconditional support. This mighty woman knows what she's doing!

Jade is a mentor I truly wish every young person got the opportunity to work with. For there to be someone who truly cares are hard to find and goes out of their way to check up on you and see how things are going. Not just in your professional life, but how you are as a person. Are the hardships that had you down starting to fall by the way side. Jade wants to help you help yourself, and that is something everyone needs a hand in doing.

Jade has an uncanny ability to bring out the child in you. And everyone's inner child needs time to be seen, and Jade creates a space for that. A nurturing space, you feel safe to exist and safe to grow into more of yourself.

Damn near every single job offer I have gotten over the last year has been because of Jade. I literally wouldn't be working if not for the lovely things Jade had said about me. I wouldn't be as confident in my ability if not because of the words Jade has said about me. Jade turned my beliefs of who I might be, into assurances of who I know I am. For me, personal growth is far more important than career. And I have grown so much because of the impact Jade has had on me. I'm eternally grateful. You've helped me (and I know plenty more) far more than you could truly understand.

Jade has been and continues to be one of the most impactful mentors I have ever had. Without question she is there through thick and thin, always around to support my state of mind. She has created and offered me a place in a community of like-minded young individuals, who care about giving space to those whose stories are predominantly untold.

Jade believes the sky's the limit, and it's empowering to know that I'm not asking too much from myself when I work for my dreams. Jade's given me paid work placements where I could test out my skills in different roles and have a lot of fun doing it! I would recommend any person to take up IMAP because you will 100% find that Jade always has your back. She's connected to a lot of influential people; therefore, she can help you to succeed in whatever craft/role you're most interested in. I would not be where I am today without Jade's motivational care.

Jade is the living soul of any room she walks into.

Having her as your mentor, you should count yourself very lucky! She’s an honour to have as your mentor! She has such a bubbly personality and cheerful smile; she lights up any room she walks into.

Working with her is a joy and you can see the dedication she puts into everything she does.

She would go above and beyond and will never leave a soul left out. I felt included in everything we worked on together and it was the best experience I’ve had to date! And I’ll cherish it forever! She’s brought me out of my shell.

Playing in her sessions together was amazing, it made me feel confident and more me. I couldn’t of asked for a more patient mentor; she was always calm, collective and would make you feel at home.

I would highly recommend IMAP mentoring! You’d be a bit silly not to!

I feel so fortunate to know Jade and be able to go to her when I need some guidance. She is full of life and brings that energy to everything she does. I’m inspired by her approach of incorporating play into daily life. Jade is an incredible leader, selfless and direct mentor who is full of wisdom.

Jade is a very kind person & working with her was a pleasure. She certainly makes you feel supported personally and through fun and engaging activities, I would recommend working with her as she has always supported me ever since working with her and she will always be in your corner 🙏⚡️

Jade is the most honest and encouraging person I’ve met in a long time. She motivates me to step out of my comfort zone and take leaps of faith that have yet to fail me. I’m forever grateful to her for her warmth and guidance
