ABOUT

With over 25 years of experience as a Remedial Therapist working and teaching Massage and Art Therapy, Carol O’Connell has an extensive background in teaching within Australia and Internationally.

This includes Special Education and Advisory Consultancy where she worked within the school system to help Teachers to integrate special needs programs into the curriculum which was extremely rewarding and challenging for all involved.

Carol’s life experience naturally led to counselling through the love of guiding and supporting others on their pathways. In 2008 Carol qualified in counselling at the AIPC Australian Institute Professional Counsellors and has continued to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Carol’s teaching skills extend to her researching and working extensively in Indigenous settlements and includes serving on the Massage Association S.A Board as the Vice President.

In 2021 Carol released her life biography ‘Tapestries of Time.’

Carol’s ethos is motivating people to be the best that they can be.
