Hi, I’m Libby. I am a writer, ancestral researcher, historian, nurturer of heart leaders, educator, and story teller. Born in Melbourne, I am currently based in Perth where I work at Curtin University. In 2024 I completed my Bachelor of Arts (History major) at the University of Tasmania. This followed the succesful completion of a Diploma of Family History in 2021.
My main areas of historical interest and research are quite often inspired by the life experiences and rich cultural heritage of my ancestors. I am drawn to the land, culture and history of Scotland, Ireland and England (circa 18th – 19th century).
I write on history, ancestral narratives, psychology, philosophy, personal alchemy and ones search for fulfilment, contentment, self-kindness and purpose. Drawing upon my deeply personal lived experiences of marriage and divorce, family and separation, suicide, grief and loss, joy and wonder, motherhood and connection, I aim to weave words of encouragement, compassion, truth, resilience and hope.
I am on a personal journey to bring kindness, wholeness, and acceptance to our life experience.
