Everyone likes to know the dirt on the Author right? So here it is.
Born 1977, Australia to a couple of surfer hippy types. Spent most of my childhood roaming wild on a property in the hills of the northern NSW. We were home-educated but I dont remember much of that, what I do remember is devouring books, turning amphibian in our dam, watching puppies being born and sleeping in hammocks made of bedsheets hung in trees. It was a good childhood.
My teenage years were spent pacing the cage that was a small inland town, did some time at high school, dreaming of the 'greener grass' of the city. Day release to the coast, hitch-hiking, home-peircings and discovering music.
Next stop, Sydney- Gothdom, loud music and beer in the park. Love affairs, party protests, sun rise over techno bush parties and training as a massage therapist. But the grass was greener still...in Europe.
Next stop London, Holland, Spain, France, Poland, Ibiza and more. Less rock, more techno, D&B, Dancehall music. Squats, warehouse parties, table dancing, burlesque and marrying the DJ.
Next stop? pregnancy! A memory of Spiritual Midwifery from my step-mother's bookshelf.
And so here I am two homebirths later, baking bread crafting and sewing, breastfeeding supporter, and homeschooling Mumma in the making. Boogying down at Rhymetime in the library.
We are in the throes of moving back to Australia to be closer to my amazing family, watch this space.
