Hello and welcome to my website.

Through these pages I share my love of the natural world, as well as professional and creative offerings that reflect these interests.

As a nature writer and environmental project innovator, I have created and curated many awareness initiatives, ranging from cetaceans and marine conservation, to rhino conservation, wilderness preservation and my urban wildlife programme Wild Neighbours.

I have worked alongside so many inspired people and organisations, and this experience has reaffirmed my belief that when we come together, sharing our passions and commitment to a specific cause, we can work effectively towards not only preserving our natural world, but restoring spaces and protecting local species that have been diminished or lost over time.

It requires a deep collective commitment and ultimately, through working for wildlife and wild places, we are honouring the essence and sanctity of our own lives, our own wild selves.

I truly believe that the health of the earth is inseparable from our own health.

Throughout my work, I share messages of connection to the natural world, and to the many creatures great and small that live alongside us.

I am based in the Cotswolds, UK.

“Over the years, I have come to see that we nurture feelings of concern, compassion and caring when we connect deeply, emotionally, to the land, to the animals. This connection then translates into a deep desire to live differently.”

Out in nature, as we immerse in the quiet of wild places, we are encouraged to touch the earth and connect the dots to the stars in a wider universe….
