About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Slow drive down the coast of Eastern Australia - Heading for Melbourne with a week to get there.

ABOUT ME

Former flower child of the 60's, then a doctor, now a grandma. Happily single, visiting Australia to teach a couple of workshops on boundaries, communication and touch for hands-on professionals. I'm also a facilitator of touch workshops called Cuddle Party.

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes we need to give, sometimes we need to receive. Both are precious.

I teach touch. I learn just about anything. Love hearing about your travels and the local lore.
