Get To Know Me
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
My passion for this healing profession is shaped by my own experiences of raising my six children, foster parenting, pastoral work, relocating across cultures, navigating illness, and caring for ageing loved ones. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the complexity of family relationships and the ways our culture, faith, health, histories, and communities influence the stories we carry.
