Author & Illustrator
Clinical Neuropsychologist
As a mother of 6 and Clinical Neuropsychologist, I believe storytelling is a powerful tool for shaping behaviour and supporting childhood development. Through my illustrations, I aim to impart essential concepts such as empathy, solidarity, love, peace, harmony, balance, and kindness to young minds. My goal is to help children navigate daily challenges and build resilience for the future. Working with my youngest 'Forest Keeper' Victoria has been an absolute pleasure. Her expertise in creative production has been instrumental in bringing this project to life.

From our childhood kitchen table to your bookshelf! I hope this story brings you as much joy as it brought us growing up. This project is a tribute to the spirit of children; their love for life, search for magic, and boundless imagination - and making it truly made me feel that way. Merging my passion for psychology with my love for storytelling has been immensely fulfilling. We craft characters that embody important human values whilst embracing a playful, childlike perspective. Our hope is to offer a joyful escape for readers big and small. This is just the beginning!

TodayA mother-daughter collaboration, 25 years in the making.
Deep in the Norwegian wilderness lives a family of mushroom people, each devoted to protecting the forest and its creatures. Each character represents one of the six children in the real-life family, drawing from real experiences and challenges.
The wider cast of mushroom characters embody different personalities children recognise in everyday life. Through their adventures and 'Forest Keeper Tips for Little Helpers', young readers learn valuable skills through play. Each book tackles a universal challenge, helping children navigate everyday moments and shape positive behaviour at home, at school, and with their peers.
