wellness, hospitality, creativity, design, culture, travel and community.

Including:
creative founders, retreat spaces, boutique hospitality brands, wellness practitioners, design-led businesses and experience-led projects.

MY BACKGROUND

My experience spans communications, wellness, hospitality and creative direction, working across both global brands and independent creative businesses.

Over the years, I’ve worked across marketing, brand storytelling, content and creative development for retreat spaces, artists, wellness practitioners and founders, helping shape brands, experiences and audience connection in a way that feels thoughtful, cohesive and culturally relevant.

My background includes experience at Selfridges, communications consultancy at Weber Shandwick, and leading marketing at Suryalila Retreat Centre, an award-winning retreat centre in southern Spain.

Alongside founding Meala Soul, I also collaborate on creative direction, storytelling and brand development for Mise Tusa, my mom’s design brand, alongside supporting a range of independent founders and creative businesses across wellness, design and lifestyle.

“We met with Bridget about House of Buckley’s marketing. She was brilliant, helping us step back from feeling overwhelmed and think strategically, then breaking everything down into bite sized, achievable action points. We came away with a wealth of new ideas and a clear sense of how to implement them”

— Caroline Buckley, House of Buckley

“Words can’t express all the help you gave me, so professional, so efficient with lots of ideas. I was so pleased with all the work, your attention to detail, visuals and colours. Thank you. ”
