About Photographer

Yvonne is a qualified nurse specialising in psychiatric nursing. For the past 15 years, she has worked in drug and alcohol counselling. As a health care professional, Yvonne has always been interested in complementary medicine, and has diplomas in massage and aromatherapy, two healing practices she uses extensively in her work. She is a Reiki Master and has been integrating Reiki into her personal and spiritual journey since 1994. Yvonne has also done volunteer Reiki healing for animals with the R.S.P.C.A.

Yvonne has completed a Intuitive Facilitator training course with the Academy of Therapeutic Arts and runs courses teaching Reiki and is a co-facilitator on Awakening Within spiritual sexuality retreats.

As well as working part-time in drug and alcohol counselling, Yvonne has her own business, One Love, which incorporates all of her skills and talents, including her passion for photography, specialising in canvases and cards of flowers from around the world.

Yvonne emigrated from Scotland to Australia in 2004 with her partner and since arriving here she has been exploring Tantra and other forms of spiritual sexual healing, which she feels have complemented the other aspects of her personal growth.

She believes that, through applying a truly holistic approach to our health and wellbeing, we can all heal ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
