foodie: yoga teacher : organic gardener: enthusiastic herbalist: psychologist & social anthropologist: mum: second time around wife: sometime grumpy old woman Passionate about women’s health and how appropriate movement, lifestyle and eating can save ‘female issues’ being over medicalised.

It felt like I was the only vegetarian in town as a teenager in North Yorkshire in the early 70s, and there's a similar pioneer sense to exploring plant based eating now.
