Hi, I’m Libby.
I am an ancestral researcher, historian, nurturer of heart leaders, educator, and writer. 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.
My work explores trans-generational influence, ancestral narratives and the ensuing interconnectedness between people and place (historically, genetically and spiritually). Main areas of historical interest and research are 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).
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 write about history, ancestral narratives, psychology, philosophy, personal alchemy and ones search for fulfilment, contentment, self-kindness and purpose.
I am on a personal journey to bring kindness, wholeness, and acceptance to our life experience.
