(he/him)

Well this is a bit of a change😁!  After over 40 years in academia, consultancy and still (part time) in industry as an environmental scientist and director, I am here in Elephant Rooms volunteering most days of the week.  If people ask me why am I here, I usually just say “ask her” pointing at Helen 😁; but truly like many who come to Elephant Rooms I think I am on a bit of a spiritual journey finding not all my experiences and feelings can be explained by science and logic.  

I love that Elephant Rooms is able to provide a space and enable so many teachers and therapists to develop and sustain their practice bringing physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing to literally hundreds of people.  I sometimes just like to sit in the rooms and absorb the energy of the space and people at calm.

So what do I do here?  Well, I make a lot of tea, sweep and mop, mend things and smile a lot.  Much of my time I am sequestered away in the backroom seeking funding, looking at our social impact and other paperwork things. Occasionally I am let out to talk to people about the myriad of amazing treatments, classes, workshops and community groups we have her.  Oh and also I am Chairperson on the board.
