Born in Dublin and raised in Somerset from the age of 10, I grew up in a home that was a joyful hub of connection and communication. My parents were amazing and my siblings and I are so grateful always. That early foundation shaped everything that followed, from my years as a nanny, pilgrimages to Lourdes for 13 years, management training, women’s fashion retail and 15 years working alongside an investment entrepreneur as Director of Communications. There were many projects along the way to learn, expand and grown from.

I became a personal trainer specialising in core strength, balance, and breath. I am an attuned Reiki practitioner. And through all of this since the age of 9 when I received my first diary, I have loved to write! I wonder if that is why I am such positive person? Or I take after my father? Perhaps both?

Though I’m not a mother myself, I’ve been privileged to be a nanny, aunt, godmother to 14, and stepmother to 3. These 21 young people have taught me so much, and as a listener and observer, I can respond to them with a different perspective than a parent might. I love them all and they are all so much part of my life. Now most of them are married or have partners… my every growing “family”! So much fun. They inspired my first journal for young people age 10 up. Wisdom While You Work, Values for Wellbeing. Click here for the website.
