One of my passions is creating and living in excellent health - Body Mind Soul! Below reinforces how I have lived to fulfil this “passion”
From my early thirties raising five children, I have always been exploring how to live a healthy natural lifestyle that gave my children a brilliant start and as a family, we created community in the home. This was an education for them following different models of health, study, sport and friendship over many years. As an extension to that family, now I have eleven gorgeous grandchildren exploring life and fun through their relationships, work, studies and physical pursuits.
A valuable time of growth was when I was a carer for over twelve years. My husband developed cancer in our forties, spent almost a year in hospital, and our lives were changed overnight! Those twelve years were filled with crises, challenges and the greatest “gifts”. I woke up!
In 1984 I studied to be a yoga teacher in north Queensland and when moving to Canberra, I created a purposeful yoga school. At the same time I was working as a therapist in the world of Kinesiology and other modalities. During my years as a therapist, I came to realise that often clients yearned for a practitioner to “fix them”!!! That understanding for me prompted a change of direction.
In 1998 I met Dru and it was not long before I realised that this form of yoga, empowered practitioners to take responsibility for their personal wellbeing! Yippee! So I completed working as a therapist, and decided to do the Dru teacher training and follow this path. What a wise decision!
Over the last twenty five years in Australasia and globally, I have been involved in Dru as a student, teacher, therapist and mentor. Dru nourishes my body, gives me ownership over my mind, fires my heart with enthusiasm and fulfils my inner yearning for a spiritual connection to “Source”. My vision is that by transforming myself with Dru, I am offering others the incentive to explore the avenues of possibility we offer and they are always charged with “fun".
