Hello and welcome
I wasn’t always a nervous flyer, but during a difficult period in my life, anxiety began to surface — most strongly when travelling by air. Art had always brought me comfort, so I returned to my pencils and began sketching. What started as a calming, therapeutic practice soon grew into a collection of travel illustrations, and from that, Fly Colour Calm was born.
For me, calming my flying nerves starts with distraction: not dwelling on ‘what ifs’, but having a plan to keep my focus positive.
Both versions of Fly Colour Calm include mindful colouring.
The Flight Logs (not included in the 'Just Colour Edition') contain helpful prompts — from tracking your emotions, to listing what you’re looking forward to, to reflecting on successes and next steps. The Flight Log helps guide a busy mind toward a more settled, intentional head space.
Outside of Fly Colour Calm, I spend four days a week in school helping to teach brilliant little minds. I also love gardening, my other go-to for mindfulness. I’ve been wild swimming for a few years now and find such serenity in being out in nature. And of course... there’s travel, wherever and whenever possible!
My journey as a nervous flyer has brought me into a kind, supportive community of people who understand each other's nerves and enjoy sharing their stories of success.
And now, what started as a form of personal escapism has grown into something more: the creation of Fly Colour Calm, a tool to help others find calm in the clouds.
