Ayesha has recently moved to regional Victoria after relocating from the mid-north coast of NSW (though previously from Melbourne).

Ayesha is interested in a wide range of topics, including art, writing, photography, research, community development, communications, and technology, maternity services, and complementary therapies.

Ayesha has a beautiful daughter Grace, who was born in July 2006. While at home with Grace, Ayesha runs a resume and career coaching service, and a web and graphic design service.

Prior to moving from Melbourne, Ayesha was the manager of Port Melbourne Neighbourhood House and also ran her own marketing and communications business. Previously, she has worked in a number of roles in the corporate, government, and non-profit sectors.

As a child, Ayesha dreamed of working overseas as an aid worker. In 1998, Ayesha moved to Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. Ayesha went to Thailand with Australian Volunteers International and worked as a community development worker with a women's NGO called Empower where she ran programs for Thai sex workers. Ayesha then went on to work with a number of other NGOs who provide services and assistance to Burmese refugees.

One of Ayesha's life-long passions is complimentary therapies and she has studied Reiki, Reconnective Healing, Kinesiology, Bowen Therapy, and most recently Pranic Healing (studied with the Ashish Institute for Inner Studies).
