Guest Bio
Jennifer survived a very dysfunctional childhood and even more dysfunctional life in Hollywood where she was lucky enough to survive it. After learning everything the hard way and having far too much fun than anyone should have in their lifetime, Jennifer headed home to Australia. She now is the epitome of health doing yoga, a foodie and anything that's for her wellbeing. Jennifer never played a victim and just kept on going. She now is a very healthy, happy and well-adjusted person.
Jennifer now lives on the beautiful Gold Coast.

MY COMMITMENT TO EATING HEALTHY WAS ONLY EQUALED BY MY DESIRE FOR COCAINE…
Setting out on an adventure to the USA with my best friend, we had no plans, no rules and no limits. It started in the wild 80’s in Hollywood, LA and the spread across the ‘90’s, fueled by drugs, sex, rock n roll. We met the people who later became famous actors, musicians, singers. I took some risks, made mistakes and lived through them; I was one of the lucky ones.
For 14 years I worked as a Dominatrix in Hollywood.
I was a natural and loved the work. My clients included a US General, Top Surgeons, Politicians, High Court Judges and VIPs. There is a grey side to my work, and no one really knows what goes on behind the dungeon doors.
I married a charming, captivating Italian/American criminal and lived a dangerous life, involved in crime, drugs and crazy choices where I almost lost my life. My turning point came the day I walked into the Sanctuary of an Interdenominational Church. I loved it so much I joined the gospel choir and took up yoga.
Now I was a dominatrix, yoga student singing in a gospel choir.
Eventually, and exhausted, I returned to Australia permanently to set up my own yoga studio and started to build a new life away from a blurred past. I was a wild and fearless child with a kind compassionate heart and a determination to live my life to the full, regardless of any cost.
“A spectacular life journey of a woman filled by verve and passion for life and who found her place far from where she thought it was going to be…sensitively written and thoughtful reflection of an explorative youth…wonderful…” Tara, Indiebooks reviewer
