Amutha Kanthasamy

Amutha Kanthasamy was born in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. After HSC, she went to Bangalore in India for further studies and returned to her hometown. Soon after the 2004 tsunami, she moved to Sydney, Australia working as a nurse for thirteen years. Amutha believes our thoughts and emotions play an integral part in the onset, prognosis, and remission of illnesses. She started writing with the intention to bring about the knowledge of self-healing into stories that she had learned from her mother, her patients and her own experience over the course of her lifetime.

‘It was quite challenging to write in English as my second language and with no prior writing experience; however, writing has become my greatest enjoyment. I feel what I write is more realistic than the life itself.’ Says Amutha.
