ABOUT ME
I’m an Australian, born and raised in Melbourne, Victoria, and have been living in the USA for 31 years. I’m 67 years old. I’m a professional Confidante and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts from the University of Melbourne, with a post-graduate Diploma of Education from Mercy College. I have been self-employed since I was 23, and for 15 years I operated a large and successful private practice as an early-childhood practitioner focusing on the development of children's self-esteem and self-expression.
I’m married and I adore my husband. He and I met when I was 12 years old and he was 13. We have been very best friends for 56 years and have been married for 44 amazing years, and have a unique relationship. We have a 37 year-old daughter, and sons who are 40 and 42. We also have 2 beautiful grandchildren.
