Author. Speaker.

Cultivating belonging through story, nature and place. I've spent much of my life following questions rather than plans.

As a little girl growing up in London, UK, I dreamed of colour, wild places and a deeper connection with the natural world. That longing has shaped almost every chapter of my life.

It led me to a career in osteopathy, where I spent more than twenty years helping people find health through the wisdom of the body. It led me to restore a small piece of land in Nicaragua that became Apothefinca, a place where nature, creativity and community come together. And it led me to write The Home Tree—a memoir exploring belonging, intuition, folklore and the long journey of finding our way home.

Today my work centres on writing, speaking and creating spaces where people can slow down, listen more deeply, and reconnect with themselves and the living world. Through books, talks, essays and writing retreats at Apothefinca, I hope to encourage others to trust the quieter voice that so often gets lost beneath the noise of modern life.

Everything I do is rooted in the same belief: that paying attention—to ourselves, to one another, and to the natural world—has the power to change the way we live.

When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me beneath the trees at Apothefinca, tending the garden, or beginning another conversation with the page.
