Lyn Clifton
Community health Social Worker
Lyn is a Community Health Social Worker who combines her anthroposophic wholistic healthcare training to bring home healthcare simply and practically to the daily life of children, parents, carers and teachers.
In the 1980’s Lyn worked with communities and schools across Greater Sydney to provide a range of early childhood formal childcare and support services to families of diverse backgrounds. Lyn was President of the NSW Occasional Child Care Association and an advocate, representative and educator for children’s services policy development and quality Australia wide.
Alongside her own growing family (more than 20 years ago), Lyn took up studies in early childhood at Parsifal College (Sydney Rudolf Steiner College). From this work grew home-based child / parent groups to support young families, and was recognised as complementary to Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School in Sydney. Lyn also studied EduCareDo’s Foundation Year in Anthroposophy and the complementary Towards Health and Healing workshop series with Lisa Romero, which fortified her individual development and directed her towards Inner Work Path. Lyn’s home healthcare practices were refined through studies with the nurses at Taruna College New Zealand’s course Certificate of Holistic Healthcare, and additional training to qualify in practicing Rhythmical Einreibung.
Over these past two to three decades Lyn has been a founding member of numerous initiatives including Anthroposophic Care for the Young Child Association in Sydney, Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner Preschool and Developing the Self Developing the World.
Lyn now specialises in what she names the Mantle of Care, to bring home health care to individuals, families and class groups.
Louise Stewart

Louise works in private practice as a homeopath using anthroposophical remedies and providing oil dispersion baths. She works with all ages for developmental, acute and chronic conditions and regularly visits the school environment to provide observational feedback and workshops that can help parents and teachers with their understanding of health and healing according to anthroposophy.
Louise has been a complementary health practitioner since 1993 and extended into anthroposophical health and healing in 2004 by studying the Foundations of Anthroposopy with EduCareDo and the complementary Towards Health and Healing courses which later developed into Inner Work Path. Alongside this Louise founded Milkwood Steiner School in Darwin where she participated in diverse roles including board secretary, school manager and parent educator. She was also employed as the Northern Territory Health Educator for Arthritis and Osteoporosis Australia and for many years continued to keep active within the health and disability sector in the NT through consumer education, advocacy and support.
