feathers in my boa

ojoy… hello!

Thanks for popping in to a place I’ve created to share and show some of what I’m made of; what lights my fire, floats my boat and makes me tick.

I seek and collect experiences like feathers of different shapes, sizes and colours to grow a bright and majestic boa.

The year I turned fifty I graduated from university, made my debut short film, The Bin, and started my first band with angst-ridden middle-aged rockers - Cranky Pants.

Lifting the Lid ~ a memoir born of adoption ~

available soon.

I’ve contributed to Melbourne’s music scene as publicist, band manager and teacher before becoming a committed lactivist, counsellor, educator and media spokesperson on all things related to breast milk feeding. This work brought about my leap from rock ‘n’ roll to health and community development as an advocate for Aboriginal justice, human rights, gender equity and public education. As a registered civil celebrant, I collaborate to create secular rituals to mark milestones in life.

I am also a writer. For years, in many guises I’ve written for love and for money.

For years, I’ve been working on creating a place for my story to emerge. It has resulted, for now, in a book.
