Sorell Who's Who
Public Profile
In my "previous" life I studied Fine Art (Sculpture) and circuitously became an international performer for 20 years, residing mostly in the UK/EU as well as New York and San Francisco. I'm now happily living a much quieter life with my husband and daughter here in Sandringham.
I have only recently moved to Bayside from the UK and am very much enjoying the seaside life.
This year I have been adventuring into Cold Water Swimming (actually it's not that cold yet, but I'm practising!) as I am very interested in the benefits of cold exposure and just love the beach in the early mornings.
I am a long-time meditator in the Mindfulness/ Buddhist tradition, an avid reader and researcher and besotted art-lover.
Kalki Henenberg Hypnotherapy
I work with people with sub-clinical issues, including anxiety, shyness, low confidence, exam-stress, chronic pain, IBS, menopause symptoms, low mood, habits and addictions and much more.
My approach is tailored to individuals, understanding that every person is unique. I draw mostly from my CBH and Art Therapy training, a wealth of life experience, as well as continued professional development in psychology and TEAM CBT. It is important to me to keep up to date with the current research in psychology and neuroscience. Similarly, I am committed to continued professional development and study in hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

Distinguished and Famous people from Sorell
🌾 James Gordon
James Gordon left the Naval Office in Hobart in 1815 to farm his grant in the Sorell district, developing the property known as Forcett. He supplied meat and vegetables, encouraged improved sheep breeding and investigated the suitability of crops for local soils. His experiments included treating wheat with steam to reduce smut disease. Not every agricultural introduction deserved applause: the Australian Dictionary of Biography also credits him with introducing Scotch thistle for sentimental reasons, a decidedly less helpful legacy. His administrative career ended amid repeated complaints about overdue accounts, after which he returned to his estate. Farming ingenuity and imperfect paperwork make him a more rounded figure than a simple pioneer label.
📺 Charles Wooley
Journalist Charles Wooley brought a career in international reporting and television, including 60 Minutes, into local government at Sorell. He served as a councillor and deputy mayor for three years before resigning in September 2025, when moving outside the municipality made him ineligible to remain on council. The council's farewell emphasised his humour, considered perspective and affection for the district. It also provides a different chapter from the familiar television career: local council business after years of reporting on events around the world.
🤝 Graeme Holt
Graeme Holt was named Sorell's Citizen of the Year in 2026 after more than four decades of local business and community involvement. The council's citation recognised his investment in building the town's Mitre 10 store, the employment it created and his mentoring of local people. This is distinction at a community scale: providing work, experience and continuity in a growing municipality. Alongside historical office-holders and nationally known broadcasters, Holt represents the residents whose practical influence is measured in local careers and services rather than a national audience.
