As a professional neurodivergent writer, I share my passion and creativity to help others overcome their challenges. I thrive on thinking outside the box and problem-solving in ways that resonate with individuals in search of different experiences. I love interacting with people, sharing stories, spreading joy through laughter, and animal encounters.
My goal is to inspire others to embrace their unique paths and their creative power, regardless of their challenges.
Neurodivergence is a an atypical function of the brain's cognitive and emotional processing. Examples of neurodivergence include autistic, dyslexic, and dyspraxic people. Dyslexia affects up to 1 in 5 people and is a genetic difference that impacts the way I learn and process information.
This difference emphasizes spatial thinking, or 3D thinking, causing challenges with memorizing facts. The dyslexic brain interprets letters and numbers as three-dimensional models, making reading and writing difficult. Despite these challenges, dyslexic individuals often excel at creative thinking, problem-solving, and communication, reflecting a unique way of experiencing life.
My dyslexia allows me to work at the intersection of interspecies relationships, exploring the meaning of our experiences.
For over forty years, I have taught, trained, and written about how humans and animals learn. My approach is grounded in behavioural science, social cognitive learning theory, and an understanding of how attachment and environment shapes behaviour and relationships across species.
Several years ago, I came close to dying. The experience provided clarification about what could no longer be ignored: unity is the meaning of life. When I returned to consciousness, a small circle of friends united. That closeness reshaped my understanding of resilience, survival, and relationships. It made one truth unmistakable: connection is not optional; it is foundational.
I grew up close to land and animals, later studied animal behaviour, human psychology, and family systems, and eventually found myself returning, again and again, to the same question: What allows a relationship to endure life's challenges? Whether between people, between species, or within ourselves.
This webiste is a place where I try to anser those questions.
Here, I write about people, animals, learning, friendship, resilience, spirituality, and the quiet intelligence that emerges when we stop trying to control what we do not fully understand. Some pieces are grounded in science, others in lived experience. All of them are written with the belief that friendship is a responsibility.
This understanding shapes everything I do. Through writing, teaching, and hands-on work, I focus on creating conditions where learning and relationships can remain alive. I approach behaviour as communication shaped by social connections, history, cognition, and environmental factors that affect our relationships.
