A life much lived

Ask Hillie Marshall for her CV and she will tell you she is a QBE, for she is undoubtedly qualified by experience. In an extraordinarily eventful life, from working in hospitals to performing on stage; from being robbed at gunpoint in a forest to playing the Virgin Mary on television whilst pregnant; and from single-handedly bringing up her children to founding and running, for over twenty years, a most successful singles club, Dinner Dates, Hillie has seen more than her fair share of trouble and strife. Undaunted Hillie has put her experience to good use by dispensing advice on TV, in newspapers, books and magazines and on the internet.

Above all Hillie is a good listener and for people who have difficulties in their relationships she devotes the time to understand, analyse and often help define the cause of the problem before reaching for a solution.
