To Hear The Trees Speak

'A poetically-written testimony of our own deep relationship with the natural world, and of nature’s own resilience.'
Ben Goldsmith

'Such an inspiring story about moving from ego-self to eco-self: the joy of travelling beyond personal loss into a life of rich connection with what grows around, above and beyond us.'
Tanya Shadrick, author of The Cure for Sleep

 

Imagine if you could hear the trees speak. How would it change your life? Your relationship to the world around you? This is the story of what happened when the trees whispered me to quit my job, leave my life in New York and go on a journey to listen. It is the story of what I learnt from ten trees on five continents – and the lessons that the trees have for all of us on how to be in a rapidly changing world.

I'm a writer inspired by the natural world. My first book, To Hear the Trees Speak' was published in 2025. My travel writing has been published in The Guardian. I run nature connection and creative writing workshops, and am trained in ecotherapy. I speak at  events about how we can deepen our connection with trees and other living beings. I also work with brands to communicate about sustainability.
