Biography
Amber Hatch is the author of five books in mindfulness and parenting. Her work has been translated in 17 languages. She has ghostwritten books for Profile Books and Watkins.
Amber is a parent of three and was a childminder for ten years. She developed a baby-led method for potty training from birth which in turn led to her first book deal. She became the UK’s leading authority on the subject.
Her Buddhist meditation practice and teaching has been a major influence in her life. While volunteering for the mental health charity Mind, she put together and delivered a course on Writing for Wellbeing. She has an MA in Creative Writing (with distinction) from Bath Spa and has also taught writing skills at Oxford University.
Amber also writes children’s fiction and placed joint second in the inaugural Yoto Audio Maker Competition (2023) with a story that explores the challenges facing refugees.
She has featured in most major newspapers and on BBC radio.
