I am a 54 year old Mother of two adult children, one of whom lives and works in Sydney & the other who lives here in Melbourne. I live in Melbourne, Australia and have done for the past 23 years since I emmigrated with my family in 1990. After juggling single parenthood and studying, I Graduated from University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Social Work. I originally trained as a Registered Nurse and hold a certificate in general nursing. I have recently completed a chapter for a book, that will be published later in 2013/2014. I am very proud of my achievements, but humble in how I relate and work with others. I value compassion very highly and see myself as a healer - I work as a Counselor in private practice here in Melbourne, Purple Healing Counselling Services, (Website hidden by Airbnb) I am happy to answer questions and give other information about myself upon request! :-)
