I have made many choices in my life, changing directions as well as staying in for the long haul. I’ve had fun being a barmaid and a waitress, a door-to-door market researcher and a cook for a tree-planting team in Scotland. I have raised 2 amazing children, hiked in the Pyrenees and Dolomites and walked the Larapinta. I also ski very, very badly, get seasick on the Manly ferry and find it inordinately difficult to resist homemade banana cake.
Leona is a member of the Australian Counselling Association and Australian Hypnotherapists Association and abides by their code of professional practice and ethics.
