Giving back to the community is an important part of my work. I have a number of certificates which enable me to provide hands-on care for aged clients or those with disabilities. I also have significant experience supporting people with a cancer diagnosis, through their treatment phases as well as palliative care.

I am happy to provide services on a sliding scale or a voluntarily basis for those in need. Please do reach out for a consultation and to discuss your situation.
