love the quiet life, am happily a self proclaimed health focussed nature lover. I also love good food, dancing (am learning salsa at the moment) am inspired by new learning and am a bit of an adventurer. I live in an intentional community in the middle of a beautiful national park not too far from the small alternative town of Bellingen. Have lived here for about 15 years with my son who is now 17, an awesome teenager obssesed with all things surfing and has just moved out of home - life is good!
My work as a health coach is varied, from teaching heathy food and lifestyle workshops to one on one consults and coaching sessions. I also work with teens suporting healthy life and self care practices. At the moment I am excited to be studying Positive Neuroplasticity, the art of training our brain to take in positive states for improving well being, lowering stress and recovering from trauma. I have recently been to Thailand to study with an amazing Chi Gong teacher, another one of my passions!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be able to travel affordably - it is so good to get out and see the world - and I like the idea of couch surfing as an affordable way to travel and connect with people.

my music taste varies greatly depending on the circumstances and my mood! Books that inspire me are usually about something new I am exploring in the area of natural health.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a health coach, I work with people to help them to bring more health, happiness and wellbeing into their life. I give health consults and healthy life makeovers and also run workshops and classes on whole food cooking and fermnenting foods. I also teach a movement practice called 'Chi Gong' which is an exercise form from Traditional Chinese Medicine approach to health and wellbeing. Happy to share any of these skills with a host if they are interested.
