Hi, I’m Zoe!

An author, artist, creative arts therapist and mumma living on Awabakal and Worimi Lands in Newcastle, Australia.

In 2022 I made a huge life pivot. I left my high-stress public service job, ended a misaligned relationship, and moved away from a city that had been my home for 20 years - all in the space of 10 months.

I travelled Australia in a bright yellow Ford Transit called Pacvan with my 10 year old son, where I deeply reconnected with my most authentic self, with nature and creativity, and birthed a new vision of a life that I wanted to create.

My life looks completely different to 3 years ago where I felt stuck, miserable, and chained to the rat race. I moved to the ocean, took a job with a not-for-profit and am pursuing my creative passions of writing and painting while running workshops and ceremonies to help others heal and discover themselves through creativity too.
