Employment History
I was employed by the Department of Health as a naturopath/counsellor/crisis and group worker, working in a women's refuge and in Leichhardt Women's Community Health Centre from 1981-1986. Since 1987 I have been in private practice as well as being committed to my own personal development through continuing studies, personal work and applying an integral approach to my own self-care.
