She has toured her shows for grownups to clubs and festivals around the country and internationally. She tells stories for children of all ages, and specialises in multi-sensory storytelling for the very young and for people with learning difficulties.

She writes on education and storytelling for the magazine Early Years Educator and for PPS books.
