I invested 32 years as a nurse in city and country hospitals, the last nine focused on aged care. Since retiring, I’ve learned that caring for yourself matters just as much as caring for everyone else. I’ve tried to become the person friends call before they call the doctor – not because I have answers, but because I try to ask the right questions. I write about health, family and the small daily habits that keep independence going. My goal is to always present good information that respects the reader and never talks down.
