In London she studied HIV & AIDS Nursing at the Middlesex University and then studied Homeopathic Medicine at The Northern College in Newcastle. Sheila has worked in Australia and Africa as both a nurse and homeopathic nurse practitioner and is currently a nurse member of the Faculty of Homeopathy UK.

She has studied the Graduate Course in Palliative Care at Queen Margaret’s University and has worked in practice development at both Marie Curie Scotland and more recently, St Columba’s Hospice Care in Edinburgh.

She has been working as an Associate Facilitator with FoNS for 4 years on the Resilience-based Clinical Supervision and Creating Caring Cultures programmes and more recently at the FoNS Residential Programme. Sheila is passionate about supporting person-centred cultures to grow and the provision of restorative clinical supervision for nurses working in all sectors of healthcare. She is committed to staying curious about new ways of facilitating and being, and is currently being introduced to new ideas and perceptions of this through Dramatherapy at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh.
