Career portfolio

Abby started her career in the City of London working for the Lord Mayor. It was an excellent discipline and taught her to be thorough and meticulous. After a year she left to explore the London rat race further, taking with her the honourable - if not anachronistic - title of Freeman of the City of London.

She then moved into PR and advertising where she handled various accounts including John Deere tractors and the Aspirin Foundation.

In the '90's she retrained to become a masseuse/aromatherapist and worked at several of London's top hotels. She also wrote articles on aromatherapy and appeared on Live TV.

Following courses with the Writer's Bureau and Open University she has been published in many women's weekly and monthly magazines.
