I am a writer, Yoga teacher, breastfeeding counselor, home educator and mother of three children. Although I used to be a refugee lawyer, my days of carrying an attache case are over and I now wear leggings to work– now I teach Yoga classes that fit around my family.
I have been teaching mixed ability Yoga classes for almost 10 years in my local area. I also teach groups of mothers, along with their children, and I run specialist workshops for groups such as athletes. I have a passion for making Yoga a part of daily life and I try to bring this into my teaching, giving students tools they can take away with them and into their own lives. I am a recreational runner, a keen hillwalker, gardener and cook.
My writing has been published in The Green Parent Magazine, OM Yoga and Lifestyle, Stealing Time Magazine and The Journal of Refugee Studies. I am also Contributing Editor for LLL’s Breastfeeding Today and Breastfeeding Matters (both member publications), and my work has been published in New Beginnings and Feedback. I have also contributed to Musings on Mothering, an anthology published by Mothers Milk Books. I formerly blogged for Mothering.com and now contribute to Home School Life Magazine’s blog.

HI Lisa!
I’m delighted that you spent some of your time on the computer today reading my blog and commenting. Thank you so much!
Love you too,
Lisa
Thank you so much for your blog (and Facebook page which I have just ‘liked’ so hopefully will keep up with things that way a bit!). I am just struggling with lots of parenting questions exactly like the ones you discuss – and broadly the feeling that our way of life in this society does not support parenting choices which really work for the children, and how to work around this – so I am delighted to read your ideas and thoughts on a range of issues, and I will continue to work (also imperceptibly, but a way behind you on the road I think!) towards achieving a more harmonious life for our whole family. Thank you – your blog is so much appreciated 🙂 Emilie x
Thank you Emilie for your kind and encouraging words. I’m so glad you’re here. Do continue to comment, and visit the Facebook page. I get so many great ideas and support from other parents and readers like you.
