Why people believe in us
It was a brilliant session, thankyou Vikki. We all needed space to bridge the gulf between legislation & personal experience. It was perfect to bookend the day with the moments of stillness and creative reflection you created. Thankyou.

It was a real pleasure to work with Vikki Parker and her Doodle Cafe for the Get Happier event - Vikki added verve and energy with her colourful doodling cafe to get people of all ages involved in this unique art workshop. Highly recommend.

I booked Vikki Parker to do a Doodle Café to kick off a Christmas Party for my business membership community. I’d seen so many positive comments about this process that I’d become curious and the party was a perfect excuse to book it!
The Doodle Café provided the perfect “set up” to the day. Many of our members find business networking with strangers awkward and the Doodle Café meant they had a creative way to focus their attention, yet at the same time could have fun and chat with each other without the pressure to “small talk”.
The Doodle exercises were fun, and created a lot of laughter and giggles to break the ice, as well as encouraging reflection, allowing the participants to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and how they approach different situations in life. It also helped to create an atmosphere of connection and collaboration, and set our members up to be fully present to enjoy the rest of the day and really connect deeply with each other.
The feedback from the participants was hugely positive and lots of them have told me they’d like me to book Vikki again next year!
I highly recommend this process either as a complement to set the tone for an event where you want to get the most out of people, or as a longer stand alone process to enable people to tune into a more creative part of their brain, gain insights and connect as a team.
