Client Feedback
"A diagnosis of cancer is life-changing in so many ways and not always understood by the people around us. It is a time of great emotional upheaval. To have a safe place to come and discuss our fears and worries is wonderful."
“I am better equipped to be the person I want to be, for myself, my family and my community. I feel connected after every visit. The benefits are immeasurable on a physical, emotional and psychological level. From this feeling of connectedness I can better help myself and everyone around me as we dealt with Mum’s death and the life that goes on after that.”
"It's given me perspective, strategies and a feeling of being understood. The loss I have had to go through has impacted every part of my life. I feel understood and I also feel stronger to continue on with my days."
“Being able to attend the weekly Meditation Group has helped to bring peace within when grief threatens to overwhelm.”

“Being diagnosed with this illness has been a profound change in mine and my family’s lives. Talking to someone about strategies to cope is really important to my well being.”
"It was good to talk of life situations and recent serious illness which have led me to the symptoms I now have. It was good also to talk frankly and openly and to receive such insightful comments and understanding assessment."
