Brenda’s holistic journey spans over 25yrs. It began when her mom Bea was diagnosed for a second time with cancer. This led Brenda into studying Reiki, reflexology, crystals, nutritional counseling and everything about colours. Her knowledge was put to the test 10 yrs into her training when her father was diagnosed with a rare form of skin cancer. The regime of supplements and therapies enables him to sail through his radiation treatments with none of the side affects. Ten years later her dad is still in remission. In addition to her many techniques she believes in an Aboriginal approach to healing as well as learning. She has a Batchelor in Aboriginal Adult Education.
She has a vast experience and knowledge of trauma, mental health and addiction, being trained as a Crisis Prevention Intervention trainer, Mental Health first aid trainer, Social Service worker and Trauma training working 10 yrs in non- profit with homeless men we with mental health and addictions.
Brenda’s coaching and life skills programing all stem from a holistic approach.
Brenda is a published author many times over one titled ” Island’s in the Sun” & ” The community book project, A gift of Gratitude”
A Nana of two grandchildren, a loving mother and friend to many.
