Description

Hi friends! I'm Tammy :)
I am a seeker of experiences and I travel to learn more about myself and humanity. I was born in Thailand, raised in New Zealand and my current home is in Brisbane, Australia.

I studied Behavioural Science and Psychology, and back in Australia I work as a mental health therapist and social worker. I have a deep interest in the body-mind and love diving into both ancient and contemporary traditions. I'm a certified yoga teacher, Thai Massage therapist, and compassion-focused meditation teacher, and trauma-informed group facilitator. I also have practical and adaptable skills to offer from my experience doing work exchanges in a range of settings.

I treasure genuine connections and meeting people from all walks of life. I love sharing skills and wisdom and I aim to learn something new from everyone I meet. I'm not a party person and I try to live a conscious and healthy lifestyle; however, I don't shy away from new experiences and am very open minded. I love all things creative including cooking, sewing, music, painting, photography and basically anything that involves making or fixing things (you could say I'm handy). In a typical day at home, you can catch me writing, crocheting, playing with my cat, sitting in a weird position on the ground, and laughing with my housemates.

My work/volunteer experiences abroad include:
- Retreat assistant at a plant medicine centre in Ecuador
- Resident yoga teacher and guest services at a mountain lodge in Ecuador
- Yoga teacher, massage therapist & private chef at a permaculture farm/wellness retreat in Hawaii
- English teacher at an adult learning centre in Thailand
- Household organisation at an urban commune in Portland, OR
