I returned from Nepal and trained as a commercial photographer, but it seems that destiny had other plans for me. The period I spent in Asia and particularly my time in Kathmandu where I met the Tibetan Lamas and took refuge as a Buddhist, changed the course of my life. The notions of ‘space’, compassion and loving kindness, lie at the heart of Buddhism, but are also central to a healing practice. These days I live on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, alternating my time between the Dorrigo Plateau and Coffs Harbour where I still practice part time as an Osteopath. www.clairethompsonosteopath.au
