Your Guide to Holistic Healing

My Story

From Patient to Passionate Advocate

In 2006, I discovered a lump in my left breast just as I was caring for my dying mother. What followed was a journey through fear, uncertainty, and overwhelming medical advice that often felt contradictory and impersonal.

By 2010, when my cancer metastasised and I was labeled a "palliative" patient, I felt more alone than ever. There were no cancer coaches then—no one to help me navigate the maze of treatment options, lifestyle changes, and emotional challenges that came with my diagnosis.

That's exactly why I do what I do today.

As an Integrative Nutrition Coach (IIN) and Precision Health Coach with over a decade of experience, I now offer the support I desperately wished I'd had. I understand that every cancer journey is unique, even when the diagnosis appears the "same." Your path deserves personalized attention, not generic advice.

My Mission

I believe healing is about more than just treating symptoms, it's about empowering you to make choices that honour your whole self. Whether you're newly diagnosed, in treatment, or rebuilding your health after cancer, you deserve support that sees you as a complete person, not just a diagnosis.You are not alone on this journey. Together, we'll explore the lifestyle factors that shape your health, embrace your uniqueness, and build a path toward thriving: mind, body, and spirit.

Living proof that thriving with metastatic cancer is possible (diagnosed 2006, metastasised 2010)

In 2022, I cycled 3,700 km solo from Busselton, WA to Eucla and back, a testament to what's possible when you align your lifestyle with your body's unique needs. This isn't just theory for me; it's my lived reality.
