I’ve been involved in gymnastics (literally) since before I was born. I was a gymnast for 20+ years and have been coaching for 11 years and counting. I love how gymnastics has so many incredible benefits for everyone involved from the amazing physical skills to life-long friendships. I also believe that gymnastics offers amazing opportunities to open the conversation about mental health, which is
more important than ever. I have battled with my own mental health issues for a number of years and I’m ready to do something more to help raise awareness. So here we are; I’ve now combined my passion for gymnastics and mental health advocacy to create something I believe is going to be truly wonderful. The Cartwheel Collective is here to be the next big thing in gymnastics merchandise with a range of unique artworks produced by both myself, and artists from around the world. I believe there are limited gymnastics merchandise options for teenagers and adults who love gymnastics, which is why The Cartwheel Collective will feature artwork in on-trend styles such as minimalistic, single line drawings, retro. You will be able to purchase these artworks printed onto a range of high-quality clothing with a gorgeous colour range aimed at a more mature audience (think naturals, mustard, olive, rose - swoon, right?!). The merchandise range will also include stunning glass drink bottles and statement vinyl stickers with plans to expand the range in the coming months. I really appreciate if you have taken the time to read everything that I’ve written above. BUT if you’re not into big chunks of text…
