From February 2002 to January 2014, I edited The Mother magazine www.themothermagazine.co.uk ~ the international publication of connected, holistic, conscious parenting. I am still available for mother-to-mother mentoring, by phone to anywhere in the world, or face to face at my home in Cumbria, UK. For the duration of May 2014, if you book a […]
Bluey Miller lives a charmed life in Calico Bay, a small rural town on the east coast of Australia. She built her popular wholefood café from nothing, and it has garnered a well-deserved reputation for world foods. When her mother dies, Bluey discovers that there was far more to her mother’s life than she’d realised. […]
When I was pregnant with my daughter Bethany, I knew straight away that I wanted a waterbirth. I so strongly resonated with the sea that I swam with dolphins off the coast in the far north of New Zealand. I met with a woman who’d had five waterbirths, and she shared a book with me […]
I had expected to sleep in this morning, being Sunday and all. That was the delicious plan; the promise I made to my muscles, all weary from four consecutive days using the rowing machine at the gym. But no. The muse had other ideas. This week my mind has been filled with the final […]

Dandelion Tart from The Mystic Cookfire, by Veronika Sophia Robinson I enjoy juicing dandelion leaves. They’re a powerhouse of nutrients which help stimulate a sluggish digestive system, and thereby aid the body in removing toxins. The leaves help maintain normal blood sugar levels. They’re a natural source of minerals such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc […]
From The Mystic Cookfire, by Veronika Sophia Robinson Spiced vegetables, pilau rice…oh how I love my life. You could pay a small fortune to eat this type of meal in an Indian restaurant, but I’ll bet it won’t taste as good as your own home-made-with-LOVE version. Vegetables: Sunflower, olive or coconut oil 3 large onions, […]
