Religious background

I was born and breed Catholic and joined the Sisters of Mercy in my forties having worked in administration, finance and business for 28 years. I have a diploma in Counselling (member of NZAC) and did my Spiritual Direction training with Spiritual Growth Ministries in 2014-2015.

My life has been enriched through over17 years involved in pastoral and spiritual care in residential aged care, walking alongside people with different faith traditions and cultures. I have had amazing Spiritual Directors accompany me on the journey of my life – I now am privileged to do the same for others.
