Bringing together her professional expertise and personal journey, She offers a distinctive approach to the program. As a Fully Qualified Yoga Teacher (300hr) and a medically retired New South Wales Police Officer, Rosie's commitment to mental wellness is deeply rooted in her own path of healing and recovery.Rosie spent  12 years in the NSW Police Force, serving in various roles, including Operational Safety Instructor (OSI) specialising in Weapons & Tactics, General Duties, Specialist Youth Policing, and Domestic Violence Policing.Her direct exposure to the challenging world of law enforcement has provided her with a profound understanding of the unique stressors and emotional challenges faced by first responders. Her Marriage to an ADF Soldier has exposed her to the same challenges experienced by veterans.Following her departure in 2017 and subsequent medical retirement in 2019, Rosie focused wholeheartedly on her own mental wellness journey.
