After 1 extraordinary year with Alchemy, I am leaving. The plan? To sit in my hammock and read some fiction, water the garden, move my ass occasionally, splash under waterfalls and observe what happens when a life-time of ‘work ethic’ is reassessed.

Leaving wasn’t part of the plan. The day before flying to Australia, I felt that committing to another year was entering a black tunnel of saying NO to the rest of life. The alternative? Bright lights, and YES to the rest of the world and all other possibilities. Scared? Yes. Crazy? Maybe..

I’ve never walked away from anything I’ve invested so much love and energy into to, and from so many beautiful people. I built much of the place, breathed much dust, chased 11 plumbers (at the last count) and whispered over 1000 colons.

We started with 3 founding partners and 6 staff. So much change since then! Amazing expansions, additions, improvements. We have incredible staff, fabulous customers and wonderful clients. I am so grateful for all of you, for the time we’ve shared and the magic we’ve created ❤

My last day is November 26th…
