About me
As a London therapist for 16 years I held a space for my lovely clients to unravel their inner knots to liberate their true self. They found their way to be in the world, even when they felt all hope was lost. I want to create a space like that here for you.*
Grace and Flora is my nature jewellery business and happy place for the last 12 years. Daily creativity and alchemy are my fuel! I used to love Instagram, building 11k followers, but I prefer it here.
I am also mum to an awesome teenage daughter, who is off to Uni soon. I can’t believe it either! I co-parent with my ex husband. I’m also mum of two ‘angel’ stillborn babies whose profound impact on my life led me down this path of truth, love and healing almost twenty years ago.
Pepper, my daxi-jack keeps me perky and enjoys walks in nature as much as me.
Writing is my other happy place, that’s why I’m here!
I don’t have all the answers, though I do have a light.
Our lives, loved ones and the world are better when we have self awareness, self compassion and meaning. If we can’t love and be true to ourselves, who will?
Why paid members signed up:
‘I really needed to read this today. That inner critic is just SO DAMN LOUD! Thank you for sharing this wisdom today, It has really made a difference!’ Bonnie
‘You write beautifully’ Jan
‘Thanks for writing here. I have great respect for you.’ Susan
