Bio.

I love everything about gardening, weeding, section-clearing and working with the earth and plants. ​

For me, everything about gardening is a kind of spiritual and meditative practice.

There's something about working with the soil and plants that I finding grounding and rejuvenating. ​

I'm really into simple/intentional living. My deepest passions in life are not really consumer-based. 

​Professionally, I've got a lot going on. Besides Backyard Bliss... 

• I run my own web design and content management business - Cheeky Upstart

• I work part-time in relationship management, strategy development and anxiety counselling at the charity Mosaic. Mosaic is a charity that specialises in clinical and peer-led trauma and sexual abuse recovery services for males of all ages
• I have a coaching business for people suffer strong social anxiety and performance-related panic attacks called Anxiety Sorted.
• I'm a certified facilitator of SMART Recovery, a science and evidence-based group programme that focuses on recovery from addictions and problematic behaviours.

Everything that slows us down & forces patience, that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.
