Outside The Office:

My degrees in life; I have been married for 38 years, this is my second marriage. I am a mother of two boys of my own and two step sons, and am a grandparent. My partner and I dance and teach Argentine Tango and I practice yoga and meditation most days.

My first career was as a Dancer and Ballerina, I trained in Ballet until my mid twenties. That training gave me an appreciation for the benefits of bodywork and massage. After that I trained as a hairdresser. I learned to appreciate how helpful it was for people to visit the salon, and have a chat to the stylist. There's a lot more to hairdressing than doing hair, and many people unburden themselves to their hairdresser.

identify problems but give your energy to solutions

I watched people trying to change their lives, by getting a new haircut or colour, and then wonder why they didn't feel better. I became more interested in listening to people and their cares and concerns than doing their hair, so I began a series of courses in Counselling, Lifeline training, Relationship Workshops and finally my Degree.

I value my years of life experience, in all the roles I have chosen. In my late 60's now, I believe that these life skills, in addition to my formal training, gives me a deep personal understanding of this human journey we are all on.

I am deeply appreciative of how presence, kindness, gratitude and deep listening helps every one of us.
