My passion is finding simple, effective and convenient solutions for leaving a lighter footprint on the Earth.
I currently live in the Perth Hills of Western Australia with my partner (Brett) and our menagerie of animals, which includes dogs, clydesdale horses, camels and poultry.
Something you should know about me:
I LOVE ALL THINGS ANIMALS, SUSTAINABILITY AND SPIRITUALITY.
So much so, in 2010 I quit my corporate job to intuitively travel Australia to learn about using camels as a sustainable form of transportation. It was a 2 year adventure of remote locations, catching camels from the wild and working as a cameleer in Central Australia.
Something else you should know about me:
I haven’t been raised as a tree hugging hippy, in fact, quite the opposite.
I grew up thinking nothing about what chemicals I put onto or into my body, I ate packaged foods, thought nothing about my personal environmental footprint and lived a blissfully ignorant life.
My connection with the Earth is something that has evolved over time, bouts of depression forced me to go within and search my soul for truth and meaning, slowly my life weaved a different path.
MY CONNECTION WITH THE EARTH IS PART OF MY SOUL AND IS OLDER THAN TIME. HER WISDOM IS WHAT’S BEEN GUIDING ME AND OUR RELATIONSHIP CONTINUALLY GROWS STRONGER.
I was never the type who could learn something and then just switch off. With each course I took, documentary I watched, conversation I had, observation I made, and book I read, my eyes were opened. The world’s problems were pointed out each way I looked, but where was the focus on the solutions? I decided to dedicate my life to that.
I have now dedicated my life to working with the Earth to find, share and inspire solutions for living in better harmony, returning balance and respect.
But, I believe this shouldn’t mean going without.
MY MISSION IS TO FIND SIMPLE SOLUTIONS THAT ARE PRACTICAL FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE LIVING WESTERNISED LIVES.
I’ve had an interesting journey to get me to this point. If you’d like to know more, I’ve written the short (of the long winded) version below. I hope you enjoy.

Who Am I?
I don’t know, is this an easy question for other people to answer? Because it isn’t for me. I’ve only been thinking about this for the last year or two - ‘Who am I?’ and it surprised me that I struggled to answer it. How do you sum up someone that’s multifaceted on so...
I am a Lightworker
Sounds so wanky, I know, ‘I’m a lightworker’, but things just are what they are. Being a lightworker isn’t something that you choose - It chooses you. In fact, it’s predestined way before we know anything about it. It’s an absolute blessing but it...
