My name is Michelle Oberdorf. I am an Astrologer and Holistic Counsellor, based in Maitland, NSW, Australia.
Astrology Works intends to offer the benefits of astrology and holistic counselling to support and assist in helping you progress on your path towards inner peace and balance in body, mind and spirit.
I began studying modern western Astrology in 1985 as a teenager when my astrologer grandfather introduced me to the craft and taught me to read a natal chart. From that time I could not get enough of it, and continue to read avidly on the subject. I have interpreted many horoscopes for family, friends and colleagues over the decades. I also practice professionally, having obtained a Diploma in Astrology through the Federation of Australian Astrologers (FAA)
I am currently studying Hellenistic Astrology and Electional Astrology through The Astrology School. I also recently completed a year long Decan Walk, connecting each 10 degree section of the horoscope to a Minor Arcana card in the Tarot.
Empowering people who have been affected by narcissistic personality disorder, in identifying and overcoming narcissistic abuse, is a passion of mine. I have personally experienced narcissistic abuse throughout my life and know others close to me who have survived this abuse. I discovered this Cluster B personality disorder in 2011 which changed my life, and have been studying the disorder since. I am currently writing a book on my experiences.
I hold Honours’ degrees in both Arts (Sociology) and Law from the University of Newcastle, and a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). For the past 20 years I have worked as a solicitor, legal editor, publishing trainer, tutor, and more recently as a public servant at a federal welfare agency.
If you are seeking to address personal issues, and gain further self-understanding, I can assist in guiding and supporting you to advance on your path, bringing resolution and release from old patterns which may be keeping you stuck.
