Peta-Ann is the Founder of Elegant Rebel® and Indie Reader Approved author of, “What happens when they don’t grow back – the upside down view of life after a bilateral mastectomy”.

She is also a breast cancer thriver, having a bilateral mastectomy in her mid-40s. Post mastectomy, Peta-Ann decided to elegantly rebel against society’s version of normal and chose to ‘stay-flat’ – meaning no prosthesis or reconstruction. She chose to celebrate her youness. No boobs required.

A talented writer and award-winning communication specialist, Peta-Ann’s desire to assist other elegantly rebellious souls flourish, stems from her many years practicing various Complementary Therapies, alongside a stellar career as a communication specialist. This included spending 20+ years with police and emergency services, where she developed and led many award-winning programs such as the anti-violence campaign ‘One Punch. Can Kill’.

As an internationally recognised author and now Holistic Coach, Colour Therapist and Oracle Card author, it was through her writing that Peta-Ann reignited her passion for assisting others to rediscover their true self and realise the answers are always within them—buried most of the time, but still there.

Sharing from a place of lived experience – whether her breast cancer odyssey or being late diagnosed neurodivergent or growing up always being ‘too…’ – Peta-Ann’s programs, books and card decks assist other like-minded souls find their own voice. Take up their own space. Stand in their own light. Accept themselves and others. And above all, celebrate their uniqueness every day.
