I first started writing because I wanted to give my son a poem

to thank him for a lovely Mother’s Day. I was suffering from

post - natal depression and I noticed I was drawn to topics

of self-love and words of encouragement to help people to

feel better. Poetry then became the healing space that I needed as a mother.

I want this book to feel like a home and welcoming of all of the emotions and ultimately

I want to make a positive difference to people’s mental health through poetry.

Through poetry writing, I like to focus on the power of positive self-talk and empowering the reader to believe in themselves and ignite their passions as since becoming a Mum, poetry has become a space of expression. I also hope to encourage the wellbeing of Mums, so they are supported with the intention to help raise emotionally fulfilled children.

Motherhood is sacred and I definitely believe it to be a spiritual experience that has enabled me to write poetry and to feel rebirthed also.

I aspire to be your friend and for you to feel full and understood through my work. That 'safe' feeling is extremely important and I truly want you to feel like 'I got you'.
