Elke is a creative with every fibre of her being. From early childhood on, you could find her curled up somewhere, reading, drawing, or writing stories. Now a graphic designer, children’s book author and public speaker, she comes to life when she creates – be that visual problem solving, storytelling on stage or thinking up her next book.

They will give you the words and the confidence to speak with your children openly and honestly. Elke writes from her heart and her own personal experience, which shows in everything she does.
