A Personal Touch...

Hi, I am Rosie. When I am not busy helping others navigate their mental health journeys, you can find me cheering on the Richmond Tigers, my favorite footy team, or shooting hoops on the basketball court. As a proud mum of two energetic kids, I know first-hand the joys (and chaos) of family life. I love spending my weekends at the beach, soaking up the sun and going paddle boarding, I am just as much a kid at heart. Warm weather is my happy place, and a little sunshine can go a long way in brightening my day.
