I am an Australian whose ‘work’ passion is storytelling and stories. I am a writer, storyteller, teacher trainer and parent educator. For the last 30 years I have been documenting stories from other cultures, writing stories and telling stories to groups of children and adults – all this woven in with a career in teaching and teacher training in Australia, Africa, Asia, Europe and the US/Canada.
Academic Work: In 2000 I wrote and tutored a 150-hour unit on Storytelling for Southern Cross University - the first of its kind at an Australian University. In 2001 I completed my Masters Research on Storytelling in a cross-cultural situation (post-apartheid South Africa).
Current Work:​​ Today my time is spent writing, consulting with teachers, parents and therapists, and running workshops on therapeutic story-writing and storytelling. I travel internationally - from China to Africa, Europe to America and across my own sun-burnt land of Australia. My first book, Healing Stories for Challenging Behaviour, has been translated into several languages, including Mandarin, Korean, Croatian and Portuguese.​ A Japanese translation is in the pipeline, along with a new project, working together with a Japanese illustrator on therapeutic stories for the tsunami survivors.
