"I'm originally from Montreal, Canada, but have called Australia home for the past 10 years. I've lived in Newcastle, Sydney and most recently Lennox Head, NSW. 

I have a background in natural medicine and am a qualified Naturopath and Massage Therapist. My interests however, have led me towards investigating a wholistic, sustainable lifestyle, and finding my passion in natural building techniques.  I recently completed an Earthbag/Superadobe building workshop in California with architect Nader Khalili (www.calearth.org).  My husband Rob and I plan to start our first building project in 2007, building a new food storage building for the Permaforest Trust.  I'm also studying the Certificate IV in Permaculture design, gaining hands on experience in food production, community living and learning from nature to create smart designs in human systems.
