As a cancer survivor and Clinical Nurse Consultant, I know how confusing, overwhelming, and lonely a cancer journey can be.
I understand what it feels like to rethink and question your life priorities, to struggle with body image and self-esteem challenges, to negotiate returning to work, and to manage the fears and ‘what ifs’ of a cancer recurrence.
In 2018 I navigated my own cancer recovery as a professional, wife, friend and mum to young children. I had to learn through trial and error what and how to prioritise to improve my recovery. I learned about the importance of quality support and multidisciplinary care, and the incredible value of mindset tools to optimise my recovery to return to a healthy and fulfilling life.
The Awakened Mumma Wellness is an inspirational support hub to guide you through your cancer journey with more ease so that you can get back to what is most important in your life.
I am here to support you through your journey.
