About


I have a background working as a Registered Nurse. I have a daughter with past anorexia and autism and really feel passionate about these areas. I am eager to help others with eating disorders, autism or other medical or mental health conditions. I also really enjoy helping the elderly and have experience working in aged care. I am a very good listener. I love to hear people and learn about them. I am calm and quiet natured and very empathetic. I believe that all differences are special and all have their own beautiful qualities. I have a passion for the Japanese language having lived in Japan as an exchange student for a year at age 16 and studying Japanese at university. I would love to help others learn the language if they wanted, or just to walk in the garden, share a good book or cook together.
