Our Story

Our Story: 12 Years of Magic, Built on Love. My journey into the world of professional entertainment began exactly where the most important stories do-at home. 12 years ago, I set out to create a truly magical Frozen-themed party for my daughter's birthday. Drawing on my Performing Arts background and a lifelong passion for creativity, I poured my heart into every details. The reaction from the children (and the parents!) was so overwhelming that I realised I had found my true calling: creating defining moments that last a lifetime. What started as a single party for my daughter evolved into Startastic - a business built on the belief that every child deserves to feel like the lead character in their own stary. What inspires me? My own children are my greatest inspiration. They remind me every day that childhood is a fleeting, precious window, and as an entertainer, I have the honour of filling that window with joy, glitter, and wonder. With over a decade of experience and a deep-rooted love for performing, I combine professional expertise with a mother's touch. Whether I'm hosting a Princess Party, leading a Slime Workshop, or my Dance & Fitness Businesses, my mission remains the same: to provide high-energy, stress-free, and truly impressive experiences that families will talk about for years to come.
