I live in Scotland and have spent most of my life here. After studying for a degree in Biochemistry and then a diploma in HR, I spent the early part of my career as an HR Advisor working in the energy industry in both Aberdeen and London. Following the birth of my three children, I decided to have a change of career to allow me to be at home more with my family. I had always been interested in childbirth education and this led me to study for a diploma in antenatal education. After qualifying as a childbirth educator, I began teaching for the National Childbirth Trust. At the same time I was Director of The Baby Gurus Ltd, a company which provided support and education for expectant and new parents in the workplace. With careers in both human resources and childbirth education, I had a lot of knowledge and experience that I wanted to share. This led me to write my first book, Your Pregnancy Wellbeing At Work. This was followed by My Happy Pregnancy Cook Book, Sleeping Baby, Happy Parents and most recently The Toddler Solution In Easy Steps. I have also co-written a book with my partner called Live A Happy Midlife. I am now lucky enough to spend time writing and managing my book business with my partner. The rest of the time I love cooking, eating and walking in the beautiful countryside around me in Aberdeenshire.
