Holistic Living
I have a passion for the integrated life. Holistic living in mind, body and soul. And also great skincare and nutrition.
However, from mid-March 2020 three of my four family members suffered with Covid-19. My son and husband had mild symptoms and my daughter stayed asymptomatic. I fell into the moderate (borderline severe) category. I restarted my blog and hope that these latest pieces provide helpful accounts and resources for those suffering and for those concerned with this horrible, mystery virus.
Please forgive any grammatical errors and technical issues as I am working on this while I am still ill. Also, I have disabled comments for now as I was getting spam. But you can contact me via social media or on my website contact page.
I have several posts to come regarding Covid-19 such as breathing techniques from a physio that have helped me, mindfulness/meditation amid illness, and our family’s journey in a more condensed way. If there is anything you’d like to hear about, please send a message.

A New Season: Relaunching the Blog after a Hiatus
Is writing a blog like riding a bike? Do you forget how to do it or is it so innate that once you hop on again, then it all comes back to you? As a long-time writer, I’ve always had an itch to put pen to paper to express my current musings. It’s been a year and half...

What’s New For 2016

New Post: Voice Artist Career Milestone, Special Thanks & New Demos
Over the past two months, I’ve turned a corner in the world of voice overs. I have a niche as an American in the north of England, a very small niche, but there are opportunities. It’s taken two years of experimenting, taking risks, creating a home studio through...
New Post: On Writing – Five Ways I’ve Used Journalism Skills in Creative Writing
