“The author beautifully connects the emotional foundations of early childhood and caregiving with the wider questions of spirituality, human wellbeing and the geopolitical forces shaping our world. A timely and compelling reminder that how we care for our children reflects, and helps shape, the kind of world we create together.”
- Gopika Govindan, Clinical Psychologist
“What I loved most is how many genres it brought together and how it refuses to be put in just one box. It is memoir and journalism and research and societal non-fiction and all of that in the best ways."
- Lee, early reader (New York, USA)
“Such a beautiful memoir. I can relate on so many levels…. I wonder, is our most important task as mothers to nurture our children and restore a healthy environment for them? What if the hummingbirds are calling us to help awaken the world to become nurturing towards life again?”
- Johanna, early reader (Vienna, Austria)
This book is for you if you’re…
Smart
Spiritually open-minded
Invested in early mental health and caregiver wellbeing
Seeking social justice and a safer planet
I’ve just finished my first non-fiction book, a memoir-hybrid called: What the Hummingbirds Taught Me. What begins as a memoir of grief, synchronicity and motherhood expands into an argument: the developing human nervous system needs to be treated like vital security infrastructure.
In addition to my book, I have written hundreds of poems.
As a mindfulness trainer, I help people develop awareness, respond to situations strageticallu and feel hard feelings with skill.
Some areas where I can particularly offer support:
1. Expats, the estranged and other people struggling with issues of “home” and belonging.
2. Mindful parents seeking to understand the connection between how we raise our kids and the planet that we’re building.
