Monika Mansell was always fascinated by natural history and the biology of native birds and plants. As a child, she dreamed about becoming a lepidopterologist, spent hours identifying caterpillars and chrysalis, and could name all the local butterflies, regardless of their state of metamorphosis. In reality, she became a complementary health practitioner, physiotherapist, and chiropractor. Monika is lucky that her home boasts a wild garden sheltering a variety of birds, where she has established a small sanctuary for injured animals, like birds of prey, hedgehogs.
