About


I love to watch people thrive when given the right environment and support. Disability is about finding creative ways to achieve goals and create choices that can open up a world of possibilities for any individual. I have a background in Health Care. For the past 18 years I have worked as a cleaner, porter/orderly for internal patient transportation and lastly as an Instrument Technician in a Theatre Complex. The last position was maintaining correct procedures and sterilization of medical devices. During that time, I have studied Psychology, CBT, NLP and Hypnosis. I love how the mind works. I love being around people and listening to how they think. What makes them happy and even discussing and being able to enable them talk through the hard stuff and find resolution.^& ^&By providing a fun, interactive and supportive environment. Being well prepared by understanding possibly limitations for the client or even limitations in infrastructure to make the experience less stressful and to set the client up for success. Being flexible and able to adjust also helps the overall outcome. Sharing my stories, my experience, my skills and being an active listener and checking in that I understand needs and wants correctly is also very important. And it doesn't matter whether it is gardening, cooking or going for a walk it is important to be engaged and joyous and open.^&
