I’m probably a late bloomer – in the sense that only now, in my sixties, am I doing the work that truly makes my heart come alive.

I write memoir, offer workshops and retreats, and introduce women to practices such as dreamwork and writing therapy. I do this because I want, especially for women, to gain a glimpse into their inner world so that they can recognise early on what holds personal meaning for them and shape their lives accordingly.

After an academic career with a master’s degree in communication, successful business ventures, a midlife crisis, and further studies in psychology culminating in a master’s degree on writing therapy, I now focus on what I’ve learned the hard way: that the answers lie within yourself.
