Nicki Jeffery

Nicki Jeffery grew up on a sheep and wheat farm in central New South Wales, Australia. Together with her three sisters, she played tennis, rode motorbikes, water-skied, cared for animals, and attended St Andrews Presbyterian Church in Trundle.

Nicki graduated from Charles Sturt University, Bathurst, with a Bachelor of Education, and she enjoys primary school teaching. At uni, she was given 'Chicken Maggi' as a nickname because her spiral curly hair looked like two minute noodles! After teaching full time for three years, and spending time travelling, Nicki wrote her first book, 'Faith-based Travels: A Devotional Guidebook for the Faith-filled Traveller.'

Nicki and her husband Nathan have been blessed with two sons. For Nicki, facing motherhood in a new community led to her battle with maternal depression. It is from this place of lived experience that she wrote 'Encouraging Mums with Hope: Light in the Darkness of Maternal Depression'. This book won the FaithWriters Non-Fiction Page Turner Contest.

Nicki pioneered the Encouraging Mums with Hope community so mothers need not feel alone in their time of greatest need.
