"Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it." - Mary Oliver
I'm the author of the poetry collection The Honey in the Bones (Golden Dragonfly Press, 2022) and the forthcoming collection River, Moss, Moon (The Poetry Lighthouse, scheduled for release in 2027). My children's book The Old Words is due to be published by Catch A Leaf Publishers in late 2026. I'm also a freelance writer, editor, educator and workshop facilitator based in East Sussex, UK.
My work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net Awards, featured in poetry anthologies, The Green Parent, BBC Radio 4, Braided Way, Happiful Magazine, Scary Mommy, Permaculture Magazine, Medium and other places. My poetry has also been published in journals including Scribe, Opol, The Howling Owl and shared widely online.
"Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life."
- Rachel Carson
I live close to the sea and the green hills of the South Downs with my husband and two children. Alongside freelance writing I’m a mum-of-two, qualified holistic therapist, forest school assistant and founder member of Wellbeing at Brighton Earthship, where I coordinate and facilitate holistic events, retreats and workshops.
I'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch on Substack, Facebook, Linkedin, Medium, Instagram or email me.
