The Professional Countrywoman
Living beautifully and acting effectively - making country life easier for the rural entrepreneur.
The Professional Countrywoman came out of the time in my life where I had left a professional career to embark on that other important part of our lives - raising a family. I lived in a beautiful country house in rural NZ, raising 3 children, untold chickens, lambs, ponies, dogs and any other animal (or child) that joined the queue in my farmhouse kitchen.
The Professional Countrywoman came as a direct result of watching myself and my friends juggling all the jobs that face the busy rural entrepreneur; managing households and tripping over gumboots or lambs at the back door while attempting to get organised and presentable for the next zoom call.

Now that I have graduated to being a grandmother, my mission is still to remind and encourage women to care for themselves as they contribute to the health, wealth and wellbeing of their family. I do this by finding ways to help you get organised and get systems in place to help you reach your goals.

If you are here because you have come for the Tortoise Diet Method, then jump straight to the Wellbeing section below for help in that department.

Caring for your own wellbeing while living your busy life running households, raising families and creating wealth is vital. Including getting our heads around our sometimes lifelong preoccupation with our weight. I felt so strongly about how much this can hold us back from truly living the lives we want, and ultimately affecting or wellbeing, that I wrote a book and developed some tools to help
