ABOUT ME

I was a nurse for many years, beginning my practise in Parkes and the surrounding
towns. I eventually returned to the Central Coast in 2010, where I nursed in both hospital and
community settings. I have experienced births and deaths, and all that comes between. Bearing witness and attending to people in such raw and vulnerable states was sacred to me— it was an honour, a responsibility, and an absolute pleasure to assist someone along their health journey.
I am a deeply spiritual person, and I believe that health and wellness requires balance, flow and consistency between mind, body and spirit. As a nurse, however, I was restricted by whatever evidence- based clinical setting I was in at the time, and sometimes having an uneasy feeling of knowing I can heal a patient's body, but not being able to heal the mind or the soul.
My spirituality gives me faith, hope, and comfort that I am still connected to my son on a more profound level. I am curious to hear your views on spirituality and what it means to you.
Art and creativity brings joy and colour to my world! I have a deep, greedy love for all kinds of wool, yarn, cotton, paint, clay, beads, bits and bobs, and the endless array of things I can make! I have many 'stations' set up in my house so I can move between projects as inspiration strikes, much to my daughter's dismay. It was a delightful discovery for me to find that art and therapy work so well together, and it is something we can incorporate into our sessions. Creating something with your own hands can connect you to deeper parts of your psyche, and communicates the things that may not have words — offering a pathway for healing, self-discovery, and expression beyond the limits of language.
