Miranda Acland

ABOUT MIRANDA

Miranda lives in Chale Green on the Isle of Wight with her family and spaniels, ducks and chickens. She has always wanted to write but her teenage ambition to be a journalist was quashed in favour of writing press releases, annual reports, websites and brochures.

She worked in communications for many years at ITV, Capital Radio and Emap, reaching Director level, and went on to advise corporate clients such as Marks & Spencer and M&C Saatchi on their financial PR and investor relations.

Miranda is a graduate of the Faber Academy and a student of meditation and has co-edited two books on Buddhist teachings. She completed a year-long foundation course in psychotherapy at Regents College London, using what she has learned to work with the homeless and troubled young people. She is also a Reiki practitioner and crystal healer.

She has travelled widely and read extensively about comparative religion. She continues to pursue her many interests and is well known locally for having created a stunning garden at her family home.
