I have had a rich and varied career as a writer, teacher and public sector leader, and now that I am firmly in the second half of life, I am committed to sharing all that I have learned with others. I firmly believe that ‘if we are going to be the rebuilders of society, we need to be rebuilt ourselves’ (Richard Rohr) - and I hold gentle and restorative spaces to achieve this.

As a certified Wild Writing teacher, I lead small groups to find balance and harmony through writing. Wild Writers are creatives or public sector workers or teenagers or any other type of human who is boldly and often messily transforming on their hero’s or heroine’s journey.

I am also the author of 8 contemporary romances which have been translated into over a dozen languages and sold worldwide. I believe the stories we tell ourselves and others today are as important as myths and fairytales were to our ancestors - and I am passionate about helping others tell their stories authentically.

I continue to support leaders in the public sector, helping them to bring their best selves into work that can sometimes seem overwhelming. And of course, I continue to write reports, emails and novels, poems and my weekly salve - Wild Writing responses to beautiful poetry, with my beautiful students. Join us!
