Life by Design
Namaste
Midlife finds me changing my career from a retail, business, internet service provider and web design background, to becoming a support worker in mental health. To that end I have successfully completed a degree in psychology and am currently completing a Certificate IV in Alcohol and Other Drugs. This also leads to one of my passions, mindfulness and meditation, which I facilitate weekly.
My passion is helping people, in all walks of life, to move forwards by setting lots of small achievable goals. Those goals are different for every single human being, and need to be delvered in way that the client finds accessible.
We all need to diversify, to be reslient and be the change we want to see in world. I am all about finding and using the right tools for each job. To this end I have sought education to enable me to persue the role of support worker for those with mental health and addiction issues. I also do a little web design, like this site, with my sister at Your Brand Management. I also facilitate a meditation group, which helps keep us all sane, here and in the now.
I believe strongly that we have to change ourselves and the way we live and become mindful of how wonderful yet fragile our planet is and make whatever changes are necessary so that our children and grandchildren have a better life. That change starts with us as individuals. While it is nigh on impossible to do no harm, minimising the harm we do is a conscious decision that we can undertake every single day.

I have studied at Kangaroo Point TAFE (Business Diploma) Swinburne (Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) and Open Colleges (Certificate IV Alcohol and Other Drugs). But beyond that I have a lifetime of experiences that can be an asset to you!
