Hi,
I'm a 54year old Mum of three with a background in physiotherapy, now working in mental health coaching, funeral celebrancy work and supportive cancer care programmes. It's a gift to live within the Okareka community and Rotorua is a stunning and unparalleled place to visit. Look forward to making you feel welcome.
