About Leanne Skipsey
My passion is in contributing to a cultural shift where people feel more at ease considering and speaking about dying and death. I draw on over 25 years experience in senior management in public and population health sectors, including mentoring programs for family care givers & awareness raising projects such as ‘The Last Taboo project – talking about dying and death’ funded by the Eastern Metropolitan Region Palliative Care Consortium. As an experienced facilitator & trainer of Mindfulness and Self Compassion I also bring these qualities to this work
