My Favourite Things: Natasha Meredith

MY FAITH

My most favourite thing in the whole world is my Bible. As a devote Christian, my relationship with Jesus and the Word of God is the framework for how I live my life.

Overseeing two busy aged care homes (McDougall Park and Kensington Park) in Perth means that experienced Director of Nursing Natasha Meredith values time away from the workplace more than ever - and is especially passionate about her family, her faith and the importance of good nutrition.

MY FAMILY

Family is everything to me. I am married to Tor and we have two sons - Michael and Jacob. My mum (Doreen) also lives with us. Fun fact - mum also works for Hall & Prior as an OTA at McDougall Park.

MY ADOPTED HOME TOWN - PERTH

I was born and grew up in Dunedin, New Zealand. After I completed my nursing degree, I moved to Perth in 1998, to undertake a graduate program at Royal Perth and fell in love with the sunshine in Perth and never went home. I have been working in aged care in a management position since 2007.

BEING SELF-SUFFICIENT

I love growing my own vegetables in my veggie patch, knitting, journaling and learning how to be more self-sufficient.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

I love the outdoors and enjoy kayaking, riding my motor bike, hiking and going camping.

OUR CATS

We have two fur babies – Alan, a Burmese, and Cobwebs, a Bengal.

EATING RIGHT

I am passionate about preventative medication and as a result of that I eat a plant-based diet. I love to cook and whenever I can (and I know I can be annoying) I try to promote the eight laws of health - nutrition, exercise, water, sunshine, temperance, sleep, fresh air and trust.
