My auntie’s story
My journey began with my auntie, who was living with cancer. As a family, we felt we had hit a brick wall with the medical system. She had been told that she needed very aggressive surgery which would involve the removal of her arm, alongside further intensive treatment. The outlook was frightening and uncertain.
I began supporting my auntie with a wellbeing programme focused on nutrition, juicing and changes to her everyday lifestyle. From that point, she went on to live for another nine years, and those years were precious to us. Her experience had a profound effect on me and was the starting point for the work I do today.
