Meet Trudy

Trudy is passionate about assisting others to live their best life. From an early age, she realised her calling was to be around people and contribute to their health and well-being,  and she knew that she wanted to be a Paramedic.  For 25 years, Trudy travelled around Australia, honing her craft and experiencing life in urban, rural, and remote areas while learning how to lead teams in crisis situations. Trudy also had an education and mentoring role, assisting others to achieve their dreams within the Ambulance Service.

In 2010, circumstances forced a significant change in both vocation and life. No longer able to do the job that she loved or live the life she used to – Trudy had to rebuild her life, learning to live with a set of challenges that PTSD presented. She has done this and grown significantly from this experience.  No longer affected by C-PTSD, she has the lived experience, knowledge, and qualifications to help you survive and thrive.
