Introducing The Anxious Bakers' Club

If you’ve ever…

• Felt alone when dealing with mental health problems, wishing you had others around you who just get it

• Wished you had something to focus on to help you feel better, and feel like you’ve accomplished something

• Wanted to learn tools to help yourself when you’re feeling anxious, low or stressed out

…then our club is for you.

The Anxious Bakers’ Club is a membership for those who are ready to learn tools to help improve their mental well-being. It’s for those who want to bake, connect with others and hone in on the small things that can improve their mental health.

Whether you're a pro baker who just needs some encouragement, or a novice who is eager to learn. No matter what level your mental health, if you're someone who gets stressed when life is overwhelming, or you struggle to cope with the day-to-day due to mental illness; The Anxious Bakers’ Club is for you.

As a member of The Anxious Bakers’ Club you’ll receive:

• A new step-by-step recipe each month to add to your library. With over 6 years running my own bakery, I’ve some pretty special recipes in my repertoire. They’re not just any recipes, but ones I’ve developed, tried and tested over the years. Presented in an easy to understand way, with photos so you know you’re on the right track.

• Monthly video bake-alongs to guide you through each month's recipe. A chance to get fully stuck in and enjoy baking. 

• Access to our online support group. Hosted on Mighty Networks, it’s our own little social media page. With regular weekly content; mental health prompts, encouragement to bake, and support for one another.

• Monthly tea & cake sessions, with a different focus each month our online tea & cake sessions are a time to grab a cuppa, a slice of cake (bring your own!) and get together to have a good old chat. Available to join live, or enjoy on catch-up.

Hi friend, I'm so glad you're here. I'm Jess and along with my Mum, Linda, we formed The Anxious Bakers' Club.

Having lived with a high level of anxiety and depression since a young age, I know how isolating it can be. It can often be hard to find the things that help, and there's a sea of unsolicited advice out there.

Baking has always been a therapy for me; days spent off school would be spent baking treats to keep my mind busy and up until recently I ran my own postal bakery for over 6 years. 

Along with baking, I'm so passionate about mental health. With 2 years experience as a mental health nursing student, and a 3rd year psychology undergraduate, I bring my knowledge, lived experience and baking repertoire together to help you unlock the therapeutic benefits of baking as a form of self-help.

We're so thankful to those who support The Anxious Bakers' Club. You’re helping us to build our nurturing community and making sure those with mental illness aren’t left behind. By paying your membership, you allow us to set money aside for those who would benefit from the club, but aren’t in a financial position to join. 

We get it, sometimes you're wondering if things are for you. You might be wondering about the level of baking knowledge required, or how you'll fit in. We'd hate to think that you're missing out because you're not sure, so please drop us a line if you have any questions about The Anxious Bakers' Club.
