Madelein is from a small town Klerksdorp in South Africa. One of five children and the eldest of four girls. While growing up, especially during summer holidays, she spent hours reading underneath the big Oak tree that stood in the backyard. Madelein moved to London in 2003. To Madelein, life is to focus on what really matters most, every human needs to find his own heart, plug it into the universe, and follow the rythm.
