Dr Genghis Moss

Genghis Moss was begotten, not created, in Merseyside in 1972. After a brief stint as a carpenter's assistant building bespoke shoe racks for the region's footballers' wives, she went to find herself in Thailand. There, a silence retreat escalated into decades without speaking, culminating in an award-winning piece of investigative journalism exposing the holes in the Thai speech therapy system. She is now working full time as a life coach.
