Michelle Hood (nee Corker)was born in W.A.
She was a part Aboriginal baby who, due to sad circumstances was adopted out to a loving Adventist farming family in South Western W.A.

What was for the most part, and should have remained an amazing childhood, was punctuated with horror. Michelle, unbeknown to her loving family was being groomed by a ruthless predator within her church community from the age of a toddler.

This man then eventually added Michelle to his list of victims when she was nine and she continued to suffer rape and molestation at the hands of this man for six years.

Michelle went on to live a life of both turmoil and success during a period that saw her excel scholastically to achieve university degrees in Nursing, Psychology and Law.

She has extensive experience in nursing and health related issues and her degree in psychology majoring in counseling has seen her practice extensively in W.A. She has worked as a consultant within both governmental and private departments implementing new strategies.

She is the mother of four and a grandmother of nine.

She has given a horror story a happy ending with her courage, love, grace and faith.
Her testimony will astound you.
