About me

A few years ago my world imploded.

I‘d been burning the candle at both ends as a food photographer, actor and hand model - though after ten years of acting I finally accepted I didn’t really enjoy it, thanks in part to my crippling self-doubt and agonising stage fright.

Photography was a great way to tell stories and coupled with my love of food, shooting for restaurants, hotels and magazines gave me an opportunity to tell stories and live a life full of delicious variety. And I’d perfected the art of making my life look great.

Behind the scenes I was unraveling at an alarming rate. Along with enduring chronic stress my whole life, the panic attacks I’d experienced since childhood continued to cripple me. I’d recently been diagnosed with ADHD, I had major surgery to remove several fibroids resulting in an inability to walk or function. Another surgery, a fibromyalgia diagnosis and every alternative therapy under the sun later, my mental health was well and truly in the gutter.

Along with what has now amounted to almost nine years in talking therapy, changing my diet and entering a whole new world I had to navigate was challenging, so I started writing about it.

For as long as I could get away with it, I ran away from my problems. Now I’ve confronted the majority of them head on, this is a space for me to write anonymously about navigating the vegan world, my relationship with food, what I enjoy, and occasional recipes and reviews. It’s a space for me to have some fun.
