Upcoming training

Hello, I'm Mara Sheldon. I'm a chronic illness and recovery occupational therapist and I help people re-engage with daily life activities, manage fatigue, and regain confidence during and after illness. I specialise in supporting people to managing (and where possible, reduce) any symptoms they experience, such as fatigue, breathlessness, anxiety, pain and other distress. Importantly I work holistically, since physical and emotional aspects of illness and recovery are intricately connected; and research shows that including emotions and feelings can make treatments more effective, improve quality of life and enhance recovery profiles.A major aim of mine is providing education; sharing knowledge I've gained with other healthcare professionals. It's the best way I've found to support as many people as possible; when a healthcare professional resonates with an aspect of a course, they use it with their clients, and pass it on in their colleagues and students, who then also pass it on, ad infinitum, .... until new research and information is discovered!
