I worked for many years in theatre as an actor, director and teacher, I later trained in Voice Studies at Central School of Speech and Drama and worked there for two years as a Tutor in Voice, Speech and Text before coming to Birmingham and joining Homer Creative, a creative communications agency.  It was a privilege to train as a Certified Transformational Breath® Facilitator with Ange Leake in the UK and with Judith Kravitz in Italy. I have also been privileged to be a member of the Community of Fools, directed by Angela Halvorsen-Bogo, an experiment in extended community and living in the present moment which draws on the wisdom of clown training. In January 2021 I gained my certification to work with the breath online. 

As of April 2025 I have retired from providing Transformational breath sessions and workshops but I continue to offer one to one sessions in voice, breath, speech and presentation tailored to individual need.
