A widely-published freelance lifestyle journalist, I love sharing inspirational and heartwarming stories, especially those that have a strong sense of passion, purpose and/or community spirit. I welcome commissions from editors of quality print and/or online lifestyle and conscious living publications from around the globe.

I offer articles with genuine and independent opinion — writing with clarity, substance, warmth and integrity. My well-researched pieces reflect an original, accurate and evocative style, and I confidently conduct all interviews. 

My writing specialties cover holistic entrepreneurs and conscious creatives making a meaningful contribution to the world. I also enjoy writing insightful yarns about quirky characters or happenings, especially those that help make up the backbone of their community. Add to that my innate ability to scratch beneath the surface and get off the well-trodden path in Australia and overseas to reveal the intriguing, uplifting or unusual.
