About

Hi! My nickname is Astalyn but most people call me by my nickname Astii.I’m married and have 2 cats and 2 dogs. A little about me- I like to be open with clients so may as well say, I am neurodivergent (adhd) and possibly have autism level 1/high functioning but getting tested soon for that. I also have a few other things but I am well now so trying to look more towards the positive and I’m functioning well. I decided to become a support worker as I have struggled with mental illness and trauma in my life, I want to help others do well and live a fulfilling life even with illness or disability. I know what it’s like to feel alone and I like to help others to not feel that way so I try my best to be a good support. I don’t want to be held back mentally by my disability so I also I want to show others that even though I had times where I’ve struggled, I continue to persist living life to it’s fullest and helping other people. So what more can I want!? My history- I was a nursing student, I have completed 2 placements 1 in aged care and the other in mental health. I also have experience in aged care but only worked in a care facility for 1 month as I didn’t like it, then worked in the community for 3 months. Other experience in psychosocial disabilities through connected Inc for 6 months, through hireup/mable/like family for 1 year & caring for my dad for 2 years. I also got a cert 3 & 4 in fitness, have experience business wise as I did a very 3 in high school and experience as a sole trader cleaner so did my own marketing ect. I have 3 years experience in cleaning. I have experience cooking/meal planning, I used to be a competitive powerlifter for 3 years so was used to meal planning. I have some knowledge nutrition/dietetics wise as I studied a term of bachelor of nutrition but didn’t finish the degree. Furthermore, I got top of my class for hospitality in high school. I have a Diploma in Makeup. I’m now studying Bachelor of Psychological science and intend on becoming a Clinical Psychologist eventually with further study. Basically I got all sorts of skills and still learning more. I’d love to help you out as my interest is in mental health. I got my mental health first aid+other certificates/licenses. My interests are- -Science -Psychology -Health topics -Art -Cars -Music anything from classical to country to heavy metal -Love food and I’m a foodie/food snob -Like to travel -Love animals obviously -Indoor plants -Used to like fitness/competed in powerlifting (trying to get back into it) -Shopping -Movies - Reading -Like doing activities eg parasailing and ticking off activities from my bucket list -Love the colour black and gothic type items I collect -Trying to be more spiritual like learning about Buddhism and psychedelic medicine/therapy
