“I have worked on Oncology Wards at the Mater Private Hospital in Brisbane and have nursed many patients during my time overseas, I want to help add value to your Quality of Life and offer my support during this time of challenge. I have had a family pass away from Cancer, and have witnessed many friends, and Yoga Teachers in my Training Programs utilize what they learn on the Yoga Mat to help them, so this area is dear to my heart.”
Compassionate mindfulness support for those living with cancer, their carers and the professionals who support them
A cancer diagnosis changes everything. The fear, the decisions, the treatment, the uncertainty — and the people who love you carrying their own version of all of it.
This is one of the areas closest to my heart. I’ve nursed oncology patients, lost family to cancer, and watched teachers and clients use these practices to find genuine quality of life inside something impossibly hard. There is always something that can help. Finding what that is — for you, right now — is where we start.
Worth Knowing:
mindfulness and cancer care: Research has found that mindfulness-based interventions can reduce cancer-related fatigue, decrease emotional distress and inflammation, improve cognitive function during and after chemotherapy, and support nervous system regulation. Quality of life — not just length of life — is something we can actively work with.

Cancer is a life changing event where the person diagnosed will have an array of overwhelming feelings such as anxiety, shock, grief and loss, anger, confusion & stress to say the least.

It can help with Nervous System regulation, pain management, decision making and learning to skilfully handle the uncertainty that often arises.
