As trusted by

I’m deeply passionate about sharing my love of poetry and run workshops for people of all backgrounds, abilities and ages – from young adults to seniors.

Times are challenging, complex, beautiful and bewildering. Now, more than ever, we need the connection and healing that comes from expressing ourselves. And poetry has the power to take what’s inside of us and give voice to our unique expression in a way that no other art form can!

I have seen firsthand the alchemy that occurs when humans share their innermost experiences with one another, and the profound joy and healing that comes from tapping into their poetic voice and letting it flow.

I’ve worked with:

Womens Health Statewide
Australian Poetry Centre
Independent Education Union of Australia
Writers Victoria
Latrobe City Council
Hume City Council
Voices on the Coast Youth Literature Festival
Footscray Community Arts Centre
No Strings Attached Theatre of Disability,
St John’s Grammar School
YWCA
Mental Health Coalition SA

Available workshops
I offer 2-3 hour workshops, full days, or 4/5 week courses.
