Deborah Petlueng

Debbie originally from New Zealand but having lived and worked in many countries,  has had to reestablish her life many times in different places around the world. 

Friends would often comment  ‘but you do not know that place, but you do not know anyone’ when she was off to work and live somewhere else, but she always felt she thrived on something new. 

Her not for profit and community development work took her to many places around the world and it was then she started observing the role connection and community played in women’s lives.  It was at that time also she developed her interest in all things older women’s wellness. 

On returning to live in Australia Debbie continued her not for profit work but also started a wellness FB blog  ‘Ageless Beyond 50’ and ran retreats for women over 50. 

Her biggest challenges and proudest achievements have been raising her 3 now adult children who have all also made different places around the world home.
