Born in the UK, I lived there until my mid-thirties. Currently, I live in Sri Lanka, with my husband, son and a menagerie of rescue animals.

I’m so interested in self-healing and energy. Actually, I believe that all thoughts and emotions are energy and we don’t always use them wisely. In fact, I believe that by fully engaging in work, play and joy we can live creative and sustainable lives.
