Hobbies and Interests
My main interests are my therapies, which is my passion, also travelling new places and getting to know the Indigenous people to learn new techniques of healing and a different way of life. I love the out doors and own a boat which I live on the river with. I regularly camp out and hike. I am an active person who enjoys practising Yoga and dance on a regular basis. I am very creative and enjoy making things with recycled materials, usually involving clothing, slippers and hats.
