Welcome!

I spent the early part of my career as a journalist in what my kids call the TMOs, the Traditional Media Organisations. That’s where I learned how to tell a good story. When I was diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease, I started making feature documentaries and writing books about how to get well and stay well. Lately I’ve been asking a different question. What happens when we take what we know and actually put it into practice to make the world better?

My new film, Raising Superheroes, is where that question led me, from reporting on the science of mental illness prevention to helping build a movement to make it happen.

MY PROJECTS

A mother’s search for answers to the youth mental health crisis leads her across the world, to a truth she did not expect to find, and into a fight she never expected to join.
What began as a year-long self-experiment to put mindfulness meditation to the test, soon became a life-changing experience.
Finding a solution to the chronic health epidemic became personal when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. This is about my ten-year journey towards recovery.
A film which uncovers the latest science in mind body medicine and proves that we can do much more for our own health than we even thought possible.
