the woman behind the nude revolution

Living in a quiet, coastal town on the northern rivers of New South Wales, Australia, I am a nudist, naked yoga teacher, naturist content creator, a body positive advocate and naturism activist.

I launched my blog ‘The Nude Blogger’ in 2016 and have had the privilege of working on it full-time since 2020.

As a soft yet ambitious woman who leads a cyclical life, I prioritise running my business in a way that honours my cycles, my body, my heart and my nervous system.

But, other than a nudist and outside of my work, I am also a partner, a sister, a daughter, a friend, an aunty and sometimes a comedian.

I’m a Virgo…and very much so.

I’m also a reformed party girl and am a notorious dilly-dallier.

I am half Filipino and half Australian and was born and bred in Geelong, Australia.

After a life-changing seven month solo backpacking trip around the world in 2015, I moved to the Gold Coast in 2016 and then just over the border to NSW in 2018.

One of my greatest passions in life is travelling and, yet, I’m also such a homebody when I’m not. And whilst I love a good camping trip, I also love to indulge in some luxury too. I am truly, and admittedly, an oxymoron unto myself.

When I’m not working on TNB, you can find me in my garden as I work at my dream to become as self-sufficient as possible. My garden is my sanctuary. It is where I go to ground myself and clear my head (well, that or the nude beach!).

I prioritise eating in harmony with the seasons and nature as much as possible through seasonal and organic eating and gardening. So, when I’m travelling the world, I am that girl that looks for organic grocers and farmers’ markets as soon as I land somewhere new. Priorities, right?

Health and wellbeing are a fundamental part of my lifestyle and so I prioritise leading a natural and holistic lifestyle in which my body and nature are my wisest teachers.

For ethical reasons, I have been vegan since 2015 and am passionate about animal rights and environmentalism. I believe in treading as lightly as possible and being as good a steward of this earth as I possibly can be.

So in an effort to live out of intention rather than habit, out of truth rather than convenience, and out of compassion rather than indifference…I prioritise and value leading as conscious a lifestyle as possible. I like to transform routine into ritual by adding intention and magic to the simplest of things. These days, I prioritise pleasure and endeavour to lead a life more attuned to my feminine energy.

As a woman who has gone down the path of living in tune with my body, my cycle and with the rhythms of nature; I believe in cultivating and curating a lifestyle which is built upon reverence for my body and nature.

I cherish my slow mornings…mornings filled with hot herbal teas, essential oils, meditation, gentle stretches, breath work and some dance…and I definitely prefer tea over coffee.

I love to romantacise life and add flowers wherever and whenever I can. Taking the more beautiful route even if it adds hours. Making my surroundings beautiful and ambient with lighting, essential oils, flowers, teas and music. I believe that there is always a way to elevate an experience…and you’ll find me doing just that. Leading as sensual a lifestyle as possible by truly experiencing life through my body and my senses.

I believe that, not only does our internal state influence our external reality, but vice versa. Our external environment also influences our internal state; and so beauty in my surroundings and in what I do is foundational for me. Because why wouldn’t I want as beautiful an existence as possible, right?

Some of my other personal aspirations outside of The Nude Blogger

Some of my other passions include getting massages, drinking herbal teas, spending quality time with my loved ones, playing card and board games, reading erotic romance novels, going to the beach, going for walks, watching Survivor, dancing, picnicking, arranging flowers, playing Sudoku and more massages. My love language is receiving massages (just in case you hadn’t figured it out yet). Seriously.

Some of my other personal aspirations outside of The Nude Blogger include homesteading and having an abundantly productive garden and food forest, publishing some novels and studying herbalism and floristry.

And, that’s just a little bit about me!

I do hope that you’ll get to experience a glimpse of these multifaceted aspects of me through my work and my blog.
