Description

Hi, in my twenties I travelled the world working on different projects. I mostly worked with children, gardening and cooking. I'm now in my fifties and at a point in my life where I can travel and get involved with exciting projects again. I am plant-based and just coming to the end of a three year naturopathic nutrition course with the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London. Over the last twenty years, I have rescued some animals including horses, pigs and a squirrel. I am interested in working with animals, children, growing and preparing food. Also very interested in eco-communities and spiritual retreats. Really excited at the prospect of being involved with people and projects who are working to make make the best of this world.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have spent the last few years working as a teaching assistant in a primary school. Prior to this, I have lived and worked in a refugee reception centre (in England) working with families and especially doing activities with the children. I have spent two summers working for Frontiers Foundation in the youth centres in Cree communities.

I have recently been volunteering at a market garden - weeding, planting, sowing seeds, etc. I have been cooking plant-based whole foods for the last few years. I am about to finish a three year course in Naturopathic Nutrition and hope to upgrade the course to a degree this summer. I'm really interested in the nutrition and therapeutic properties of food and am also particularly interested in healthy plant-based diets and the effects of food, genes and the gut biome on conditions such as autism.

I have done a couple of silent Vipassana meditation retreats. I am extremely rusty in Tai Chi, yoga, etc but very interested in taking them up again.

Having my own (now grown up) children, brought a procession of animals into my life and I now have experience with cats, dogs, pigs, goats, geese, horses, squirrels and hedgehogs.
