Hi my name is Brenda, married with one son. I am a qualified Occupational Therapist and have a wealth of experience in a number of fields from Mental Health, Elderly (multiple pathology), Neurological conditions and much more. I enjoy my work and love working with people. I get a great deal of satisfaction in helping others especially when I have made a positive impact on their life. I have always had an interest in Nutrition and feel that this is the way forward in helping people with health conditions. I have recently had a few problems myself and decided to undertake a diploma course in Nutrition: 1. To help myself and family 2. To become a professional nutrition therapist and combine this with Occupational Therapy qualification. I find it so interesting and rewarding. I love animals especially dogs, but all animals are lovely. I enjoy walking, swimming and other sports but unable to do at present. I also enjoy travel when I can. I would like to get involved in photography but not had the opportunity on a serious level. Just general photos. I also live in the UK.
Welcome Brenda. Your goal of combining those disciplines sounds wonderful. I think there are too few professionals that can look at more than one side of a problem in someone's life. With the baby boomers growing older, the need for people with these skills will continue to be on the rise. I need to walk more myself, I enjoy it when I do but too often the day is suddenly at the end and I never did it. I do a little better with regular exercise using some of those stretchy cables of varying size that you can hook to the door.
Brenda, please accept my warm welcome to Personal Development Forum. I am sure that due to your background and interest you are also destined to be a good contributor here so let's continue on sharing and learning from each other. Enjoy your membership!
Hi there too Brenda and welcome to the forum. Nice to have you here and for sure you can share a lot of your knowledge on different threads here. I am also fond of traveling and hope someday I would have the opportunity to travel more.
