Onward & Upward was founded in September 2017 as a mental and physical wellbeing platform and unpopular opinions on art, fashion and culture and we are on a mission to provide support and resources to practice independence, self-care, self expression on a mental, emotional and physical level. The impact that self-care and self-expression can have on our mental wellbeing is often overlooked but we are here to change that. Over the past two years, Peacock Plumes has grown to inspire a vibrant community of people around the world through a daily dose of mental health reminders, self-care tips, and healthy living motivation.

Meet our founder
Hi! My name is Henry.
I have always been deeply passionate about self-care and the “small” things that we can do to look after ourselves better, improve our mental health, and ultimately have a real impact on how we live our lives on a daily basis. This is how the idea for Onward & Upward was born.
I am originally from South Africa. I moved to the Bloemfontein 5 years ago and have been loving my life in the Southern part of the the Free State. Ever since. I am 24 years old and I am currently studying a Advanced Diploma in Marketing Management at the Central University of Technology.
If you want to connect with me, you can follow me at @ohmy.henry, where I share all about the things I am doing that are helping me on my own self-discovery and self-care journey. Feel welcome to come say hi!
