I am an older working single woman, self employed working in mental health and recently moved and recovering from that move feeling uprooted and fairly isolated though I have two grown up daughters that live nearby and four grandchildren they have very busy lives. all of us have been affected by the last few years of Covid either from the illness or changes in our available connections.

My children intially went to a Steiner school for 7 years each and I was much involved and since I have followed that connection and studies when I can to anthroposophy, and attended one year of an anthrosophical psychotherapy training. I now use some of these ideas when i work with my clients.

I was not diagnosed as dyslexic till i was 52 [20yreas ago] and find I am slower at processing a lot of verbal info/ writing when listening and have issues with coping ["mirroring"- left /right] when learning- my earlier career was as a fashion designer/pattern cutter working in commercial industry and more visual and practical.

I have previously practised yoga off and on since my early 20's, I love to dance and follow when possible auyvedic diet which have been helping my digestive L/T problems.

I am very anxious about surgery and removal of a precancerous polyp and part of my colon with it. and managing my recovery and considering what this all means for me as an opportunity to thinm about the needs of my body/soul etc.

As I now live in a modern flat in a small town and miss a garden and  seeing the countryside......
