Rhonda D. Whetham - Self reflection in a mirror

Each week Rachel Moore is on the hunt to find out what makes Canberra special to all the wonderful folks who live here.

It is a rare experience to meet a person who instantly uplifts the whole room when they enter. From the second Rhonda D says hello it feels like your whole being is instantly wrapped in a giant hug. Hailing originally from the USA this former lavender farmer makes the most of every single moment life gives her.

Name: Rhonda D Whetham.

Age: (65) Young at Heart.

Occupation: I am a Therapist: I help people heal relationships, first with themselves, with others, places, things, events that have challenged them in their lives. I do this through my training as an Aromatherapist, Urban Shaman, Mentor/Life Coach and as a Reiki Master. We have learned over the last 20+ years from Quantum Physics what the Mystics have known for centuries, that we are 99.99% energetic beings and everything in our life is a relationship to something else. I help people heal by making peace with their past relationships. Then teach them how to live with knowing every thought action and deed they do has a reaction in the world.
