I'm a self-employed artist, teacher, coach and reflexologist with a background in community projects and third sector development.

I first learnt about permaculture in 2001 during a course at Ragman's Lane Farm about starting up organic vegetable box schemes; was inspired to start an allotment garden; and did the Permaculture Design Certificate at Ourganics in Dorset in 2008.

I'm now working towards the Permaculture Diploma, reducing energy leaks, learning new skills and looking to relocate nearer the coast while developing a permaculture 'polyincome'.
