With a full heart, countless memories, and immeasurable gratitude, I have made some major shifts personally and professionally, including the closure of Plush Floral Studio. Not sure where I will take Plush moving forward, so for now, please enjoy a gallery and portfolio of the past fifteen years serving Vancouver and the lower mainland, accenting life’s emotions and creating beauty with flowers. xo -Mandy

Bringing Nature’s Beauty to You

Thank you for visiting Plush Floral Studio–Where artistry and nature root in passion at the heart of each unique botanical creation.

Thank you for fifteen incredible years of beauty, creativity, and connection through floral design. Plush is going through some exciting changes and while the future is still unfolding, I’d love for you to be part of the next chapter.

Hi, I am Mandy!

In 2010, I founded Plush Floral Studio. A single mom in my twenties, with some big, big ideas I was fortunate to evolve into reality! Plush Floral Studio was a community centered expression of emotion, punctuating the lives, and bringing color, beauty, and love, to everyone she touched. She survived a recession, the COVID pandemic, raising a toddler to teen, and many other countless changes and challenges (community, personally, globally, and professionally). It was a bittersweet choice to close her doors, creating space for me to pour my heart into another passion – mental health.

The past few years, in addition to single-handedly operating Plush, I have been a full time student, working towards my diploma as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, (I am a recent graduate and will move into the profession full time in autumn 2025) while continuing to work towards my Master’s. (Thank you for supporting my online studio, allowing me to achieve this goal!)

I am thrilled to share the next phase of my life with you, and would be honored if you accompany me on this path

Thank you for being here. Let’s keep growing—together.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings’ end…

Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your lives, and create beauty for your important life moments for the past fifteen years. I will forever cherish this time, and feel immense gratitude. Plush has always been about the people, and the array of emotions as life unfolds.

As I shift from flowers, I’m inviting you to stay connected. If you appreciated the beauty, intention, and heart in my floral work, I think you’ll love the new path I’m walking. Join my mailing list to receive reflections on healing, self-compassion, and finding wholeness — plus early updates about my practice.

With a background in addictions, mental health, somatics, and a lifelong connection to creativity, it is my goal to support others in reconnecting with their innate wisdom, creativity, and resilience. My counselling practice is non-pathologizing, inclusive, trauma-informed, and grounded in mind-body connection, with deep care for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

I work with life challenges including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, parenting, career and life transitions, relationships, addiction, etc. If you or someone you know could benefit from working with me, I would love to connect for a complimentary call.
