Farmer / Author

The voice behind Simplicity From Scratch and Mama to all the things at Coghlan Cottage Farm.

In 2010, she ditched a “responsible, important” government career and its soul-sucking cubicle to try something different. Trading a life of high-heels and lawyers for gumboots and chicken poop, she never looked back.

Now her days are spent in a farmhouse office ( in slippers, not stilettos ) curled up by the fire with her laptop, writing and teaching other women to take the leap into the slow life of their dreams.

When she's not writing, she's working the farm; running the farm store, tending the garden, collecting eggs, snuggling sheep and her two little kids.
