We believe in the power of connection—between people, nature, and the world we share. By pooling our knowledge and resources, we can not only lift each other up but also begin to mend the damage we’ve done to this incredible planet.

There’s something undeniably humbling about standing in a forest and realising you’re the guest and not the host. Forest bathing—or as I’ve started calling it, tree time—isn’t about marching around to hit a step count, reeling off Latin names for plants, or hugging every trunk like a sixties yoghurt-weaver. It’s about connection. Presence. Loitering with intent. You let the woodland do what it does best: hold space. You don’t need a plan or a purpose. Just eyes open, senses switched on, and a willingness to notice what’s already happening around (and inside) you.

The trees will also quietly bathe you in phytoncides—those clever little chemicals that lower cortisol, support the immune system and generally help untangle whatever mess your nervous system’s been wrestling with. Add a bit of barefoot wandering and you’re grounding too, literally discharging built-up static and stress. It’s ancient medicine, really. The kind that doesn’t come in a bottle, doesn’t cost a thing, and doesn’t ask much of you beyond showing up.

If this kind of slow, seasonal nature-connection is your thing (or you think it might be), you might like the little book I’m working on. It’s a guide to forest bathing, full of simple, no-pressure ways to spend time with trees and tune back in. You can sign up below to get it FREE in advance of publication—my gift to fellow loiterers and leaf-watchers.

Energetic Herbalism

Frustrated with synthetic drugs that only mask the problem, not solve it?

Maybe you have tried a wide range of herbal remedies in the past but found that most didn’t work as well for you as they did for others. Or maybe you have heard of plant energetics but are not entirely sure what it means or how it works.

This book simplifies the ancient tradition, walking you step-by-step through each aspect, and explains why taking a “this-for-that” approach to herbology often fails.

Discover the “forgotten” transformative powers of this ancient, but well-proven, herbalist tradition.

In this book, you will discover:

The 4 constitutions of energetic herbalism, including key characteristics to help you identify which constitution best matches you at any given time
How to use the 6 tissue states to diagnose underlying health problems in your body
The 3 most important factors to consider when deciding which herbal remedy to use
A simple 5-step process for incorporating herbal medicine into your day-to-day life
The 7 herbal “tastes” of traditional herbal medicine, and how their effects span beyond your tongue

And much more!

After the success of my first book about dream interpretation, I realised that writing was the perfect way for me to share my knowledge with others without having to become a physical “teacher”. My work overseas in Africa is seasonal, and so gives me plenty of time at home during the colder months to write, research and study. Herbology has always been a part of who I am, I have a thirst for understanding, in particular understanding of the natural world.
If we work together, we can reverse the damage we have inflicted on the planet and learn to live in harmony with nature. This book is the first step in sharing with others my knowledge and experience of the natural world and all that it provides us with.

Dream Interpretation
for Better Sleep

Find Meaning in the Messages of Your Subconscious Mind to Build Your Own Dream Dictionary

Start listening to what your subconscious is trying to say — delve deep into your true Self by decoding your dreams!

Dreams are a universal phenomenon everybody experiences. But what are they? Why do we dream? What do they mean?

Have you ever wondered why you are having the same dream repeatedly, as if it is telling you something, but you can’t just get your head around what it means?

Joanne lays out a short but fascinating read on dreaming for a peaceful sleep. She doesn’t want you to be drowned in a sea of technical terms and words. Instead, the book is a beginner-friendly tool that will allow you to go deeper into your subconscious as you explore your dreams.

Inside this must-have guide to becoming a master of your own dreams, you will discover:

A more insightful understanding of sleep and why humans need it – understand why you need to expose your vulnerable body for hours while you sleep
A closer look at your subconscious and how it serves as a storage of sorts for all the things that make you “you” – discover why it is more powerful than you think!
How dreams shape society and cultures from around the world – get to know the different communities that see dreams as part of their traditions and a way of life
How to correctly interpret and analyze your dream with an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide – familiarize yourself with the process and start decoding in under an hour!

I struggled for years with recurring and often disturbing dreams when I was younger, it troubled me greatly and a good night’s sleep seemed impossible until I discovered a way to really listen to what my mind was telling me. I read an article decades ago that introduced me to dream-decoding and I was so blown away by the immediate success of it, that I have practised it ever since. Sleep is such a critical component of health and wellbeing that without it we simply do not function.
I wrote the book during lockdown when the world was facing uncertainty and I needed a positive project to focus my mind on. Writing is hugely therapeutic for me, and my hope is that the book inspires others to give it a go. To help others in the same way that the process has helped me for so long now.

Regenerative Gardening
for a Sustainable Future

Want to Unlock Your Garden’s Potential and Create a Beautiful Space for Less?

The United Nations warns that it takes 1,000 years to generate just 3 centimeters of topsoil, and our current rate of soil degradation means we have enough topsoil for just 60 years! A massive threat to our food security.

Imagine a lush garden with vibrant colours, buzzing wildlife, and the gentle sound of trickling water. Stepping into this oasis, you encounter homegrown food patches that tantalize your taste buds. Now, contrast that with the neglected, weed-infested outdoor space that you might be looking at from your kitchen window. Seems impossible right?

But fear not! You can transform your garden. This handbook offers practical, low cost steps, including DIY soil tests, to improve soil health and grow your own nutritious food sustainably.

Here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

The 3 simple steps that logically guide you through Preparation, Planting, and Protection— regardless of what your garden looks like right now!
DIY soil tests that require nothing more than pantry ingredients with bonus tips to perfect your soil health
How to set up a rainwater collection system
Low cost recycled and repurposed gardening projects from raised beds to vertical gardens
The perfect crops that will fill your kitchen with nutritious delights and what it takes to get from a seed to your plate
How to identify common pests and diseases and take natural action
And much more!

Aside from my early 20's, I've been a gardener for all of my adult life. I still own the very first houseplant I was given in 1993 when I bought my first garden flat in Sussex. Admittedly the current plant is a descendant of the first, but this is how I first learnt to propagate, to take cuttings, and eventually fill my house with over 50 plants - mostly for free! I still swap plants with friends and take cuttings of anything I like from friends gardens.
I grow my own herbs and vegetables and in the summer months my vase is filled with cut flowers from the garden. I wouldn't want it any other way. That said, my garden is tiny! Less than 10 meters wide and not much more in length, so I know it can be done and I know it can be done without digging, or spending a fortune. Frugal is my middle name!

Aphantasia

Journeying Through Mind Blindness and Embracing Our Unique Neurodiversity with Passion and Purpose

Have you ever discovered a unique aspect about yourself, which you never knew had a label?
Did it make you feel stumped, more alone, or did it make you feel intrigued about the mysteries of the human mind?
If so, you are in the right place. Welcome to the secret world of aphantasia!

Having aphantasia means you can’t visualize images in your mind. While it might seem like a disadvantage at first, this curious condition is far from being a hindrance. In fact, it opens up doors to a unique way of thinking and experiencing the world.

This book aims to help you celebrate this exceptional feature of your mind and learn how to make it your superpower.

What you will discover:

A bit about the scientific studies that shed light on aphantasia
The amazing advantages of having an aphantasic mind that you may not know of
Real-life inspirational stories from thriving individuals navigating the world with aphantasia
How to turn the unique challenges into a source of strength and resilience
Practical coping mechanisms that will help with everything from poor memory to feelings of isolation.
Forming a community of like-minded individuals where you can deepen your understanding and help each other thrive
Practical tips and techniques to help adapt to everyday life with aphantasia …
and many other titbits of information!

The realisation that I was blind in the mind hit me quite late in life, in my 40s in fact, I had been blissfully unaware up until that point that other people could see images in their head whenever they wanted to! I had always just thought it was a figure of speech when people said "picture this" or "I see what you're saying".
However, the profound realisation (or was it the accompanying FOMO?) sparked a newfound curiosity and determination within me. From that day to this, I have been on a journey of self-discovery and more recently self-acceptance.
This book isn't intended to be a self-indulgent sharing of my journey; it's more a mission. A mission to shine a light on aphantasia, embracing it not as just another trendy new label, but as a unique perspective of experiencing the world.
