    Hello , my name is Audrey

    Iam a 55 yr native spiritual reiki master. I got a brain injury in 2017 and have struggled to get my place back in order ! I am working on myself to get better from the brain injury I have good days where I can do some things but then I get fatigued and can not go further. Lifting heavy items or loud noises and long drives and lots of commotions put my brain into a state that I can not go further . I still need more time to heal my brain as some days I just can not function in a healthy manner due to trying to get everything done before winter ! I would like help to organize my shop as it has become a catch all for stuff , junk , and peoples storage units !!

    I have gotten amnesia from the brain injury and iam trying to help my brain to learn new things and perhaps I knew them before and have forgotten so I’m trying to learn again and retaining is a challenge that I’m trying to overcome . I also need help with the yard work to dig up the plants thst need to be put away for storage till spring . Perhaps even get some firewood ! These are things I used to do on my own but now I can’t and they simply get avoided .I would like somone yo help build a proper deck and or just a proper roof above the front door as you can see my building skills are not on key!! (Help !) I also have some siding that I’d like to get out on my side of the shop to help protect my shop against the winter elements and keep rodents out ! I need help in organizing my tools in my shop cuz that’s one of the qualities that I’ve lost in my brain injury and I’ve researched how to do it but when it comes to doing it I get confused and dizzy and fatigued trying to figure out what to do with everything these things never used yo be an issue for me prior to the head trauma !

    I have three dogs that help me with calming me down when I get into a space of confusion the are in tuned to my energy and stay by my side till iam feeling better . This helps me , I also have two pure black twin kittens who are about five months old . They are my best companions when the dogs spend the day outside during the day at night they come inside cuz of the coyotes that roam seldom in the neighbourhood ! I know iam getting better at least I am better than last year where I was unable to speak properly and with stutter ! (Thank god for spellcheck !!)

    So far I’ve gotten my entire upstairs organized and decluttered and my basement is nearly done ! If someone can come help with the outside stuff I’d be greatly appreciated ! Iam learning to cook healthy meals I no longer burn them so one meal will be provided , I do not eat during the day as it is not good for brain injury to eat all day iam on a keto diet so I purchase only healthy foods no breads cereals or starches …I will provide a healthy smoothie in the morning along with coffee …laundry is provided for your use age .
    I’d appreciate any help thst can be provided if you can come that would be great iam unable to drive long distances to get you so you’d have to provide your closest travel to me as close as possible I can drive only up to one hr fr malakwa bc which is close to Sicamous bc
