Who is
this for?

Makers Manual was initially built because there was no manual for how to "do life" as a creative. Our observation? Artists have always been the ones who metabolise the world around them, no matter how joyful or horrific, for the benefit of others.

​

Born from lived experience, Makers Manual blends creative insight with practical tools. Our team of artists and healthcare workers have navigated the full spectrum: personal development, creative expression, chronic health, trauma (big T and small t), building businesses, scaling back, burning out, and starting again. We get it, because we’ve lived it.

Built in community, for community, MM is here to ensure we're looking after ourselves first and foremost so that our sector can continue to (sustainably) thrive.

​

We know what it’s like to feel stuck in the middle of something, an idea, a turning point, a new chapter, and not know where to begin. That’s why we've created a place that offers grounded, peer-informed coaching and professional development for makers seeking more guidance. 

​

This isn't therapy or self care. We focus on helping you understand your own operating system (your patterns, values, ideas, and energy), so you can make aligned decisions and build momentum from a peaceful centre.

We don’t promise quick fixes. We offer clarity, structure, and support grounded in real experience and self knowledge. At Makers Manual, you’ll find tools to help you make meaning, make moves, and make a life that feels true to you.
