I’m a freelance writer specializing in wellness, Ayurveda, integrative medicine, and environmental topics.

My travel writing has appeared in Smithsonian Magazine, and my creative nonfiction essays have appeared in Grain, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The Globe and Mail, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, and The Rumpus. I am a member of the Creative Nonfiction Collective, and I was one of eight writers selected from 100 applicants to participate in The Banff Centre’s debut memoir residency in 2015.

I was editor-in-chief of DECOR magazine for a year and a contributing editor to Art Business News for five years. I’ve also written for Yoga Journal, The Writer, Artist Advocate, and other magazines.

My poetry appears in EVENT (forthcoming, December 2017), A Verse Map of Vancouver, Quills Canadian Poetry, Sulphur III, and other publications, and I’ve won a few regional poetry awards. I hold an M.A. in writing from Maharishi University of Management.

Writing on a ferry somewhere among the Southern Gulf Islands.

My Home: Vancouver Island
I am grateful to live on beautiful Vancouver Island in the unceded Coast Salish Territory of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ nations. I love exploring this area and the Southern Gulf Islands. The ocean and islands offer endless creative fodder for the imagination.
