I’m three years into my journey with breast cancer. Initially diagnosed at Stage 3, I opted for a natural approach, but eight months later, the cancer metastasised to Stage 4. I thought I was doing everything right, but then I discovered ‘Radical Remission.’

The program opened my eyes to a whole new approach to healing. While I focused on physical factors like exercise and diet, I realised there was so much more to consider – the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects. It was a true awakening moment for me.

Joining the course with Justine was a game-changer. With the insightful guest thriver healing stories and weekly learnings, I felt increasingly empowered and connected to my body’s innate ability to heal. What I didn’t expect was the incredible friendships I formed within the group. These bonds became stronger than some I’d held for decades.

There’s a special magic in these courses – a shared resonance, unwavering support, and a ‘you got this!’ attitude. It’s not about cancer; it’s about reclaiming your life and embracing healing possibilities. I’ve fundamentally changed, and I owe it to the Radical Remission Course.

Thank you, Justine for lighting the path to healing.

In 2023, at age 36, my world came crashing down in an instant when I was told that my breast cancer had returned in my liver.

After undergoing every conventional treatment offered in 2020, I was floored by those words coming out of the oncologist’s mouth.

FEAR, DISBELIEF, SADNESS, AND ANGER all came first.

Then came determination. I thought, no one can tell me how long I’m going to live, especially not someone I met for five minutes.

So, I began my first meeting with the oncologist with the words, “I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m not interested in prognosis or timeframes. What I am interested in is what I can have and how we are going to beat this.”

I went through so many emotions. I then had to figure out how to do that. I’d recently moved to the Bay of Plenty and went into a local health shop one day; the lady I met there told me all about Justine Laidlaw (The Natural Bird), and I instantly knew I had to meet her. I had been given her name for a reason; she was meant to cross my path, and after having a consultation with Justine, I instantly felt hope again. I felt empowered that I could do this; she was living proof right in front of my eyes.

So, I joined Justine’s 10-week Radical Remission workshop. This helped me believe I could heal, and I still believe every day. I continue to heal, I continue to learn, have gratitude, and nurture my body to support it physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

The workshop gave me hope at a time when I was so scared and lost and felt as though I had none. The incredibly inspiring people who were guest speakers sharing their survivor stores and the group I met in this workshop have touched my life forever. This was an absolutely life-changing experience; I truly believe the key healing factors helped get me where I am today. This is such an important part of your journey to healing, too.

I have gratefully had 4 “NED” – no evidence of disease scans since this Radical Remission journey began.

Thank you Justine, i am forever grateful.

News flash – I’m alive and well

In May 2022, I found out my breast cancer was back… 17 years later, I was diagnosed with the same kind (stage 3, triple-negative infiltrating ductal carcinoma).

After 6 doses of horrible chemotherapy and then a double mastectomy, I learned the cancer was gone. But the months of treatment and recovery exploded my entire life and touched lots of people close to me… it was a tumultuous and painful period that triggered a profoundly spiritual crisis within me.

The number 1 most helpful thing for me in navigating the cancer journey again was talking with others living with cancer.

Early on, I was super-grateful to find Justine Laidlaw and her online Radical Remission workshop which deep-dives into Dr Kelly Turner’s book ‘Radical Hope: 10 Key Healing Factors from Exceptional Survivors of Cancer & Other Diseases’.

Each week, Justine shared the latest research about the healing factors so we could support one another and empower ourselves to choose the right healing path for our own situation.

For me, alongside mainstream medicine, I found counseling/talk therapy, nutritional supplements (like Nutrient Rescue) plus energy and somatic healing (Qi Gong and Bodytalk) made the most powerful impact.

Justine’s programme was such a haven for me in the early turmoil and shock of my second cancer diagnosis.

In 2018, on Waitangi Day, my world turned upside down with an early stage breast cancer diagnosis. Fear gripped me, but amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope emerged through a friend’s recommendation of Justine – The Natural Bird.

Attending a retreat with the Aratika Cancer Trust opened doors to a new perspective. I found solace in Justine’s journey and decided to embark on my own healing path. Despite setbacks, including recurrence and chemotherapy, I found strength in the Radical Remission Workshop.

Armed with newfound courage, I challenged norms, embraced alternative therapies, and surrounded myself with a supportive team. But my greatest hurdle? Releasing fear—a lifelong companion magnified by the diagnosis. Yet, I persisted, delving deep into holistic healing beyond the physical.

In 2020, Stage 4 diagnosis shook me, but I remained steadfast in my pursuit of healing. Today, I stand “All clear,” testament to the power of resilience and determination.

Since 2021, I’ve embraced life’s joys: from adopting a furry companion to fulfilling childhood dreams. Birthdays are cherished, each year a testament to gratitude and resilience.

Just completed the Radical Remission Course with Justine, and WOW, it was truly outstanding!

If you’re looking to dive deep into the root causes of illness, heal from within, and make meaningful changes in your life, I cannot recommend this course highly enough.
After my diagnosis, the first book I turned to was Radical Remission, and it provided a tower of hope during my darkest days. I connected with Justine last year and I liked her immediately.

Despite being on the other side of the world in Ireland, I finally took the leap and signed up for her course this February. Stepping away from the medical model after 2 1/2 years of treatment left me seeking support, and little did I know that this course would be my saving grace during a challenging period. Im so grateful for the support of Justine and my fellow attendees during this time.

Justine’s profound knowledge, her kindness and compassion, guided us through the 10 healing factors each week, and I soaked up every moment with delight! The guest speakers she brought in shared remarkable stories of reclaiming wellness, defying the odds set by the medical model, and it reignited a sense of belief in myself.

This course has been an absolute game-changer for me, one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. The support, information, knowledge, and sense of community have been invaluable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Justine. You’re a true beacon of light in this journey towards healing and empowerment.

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2020. I was a good little cancer patient at first and did everything my doctor told me to do including Chemo, Surgery, Radiation and more Surgery. I was then placed on hormonal therapy and was told that this would protect me from it coming back.

Unfortunately, the cancer spread to my brain in 2022, and again was cut out and then radiated. When it came back a third time in my brain again, they told me that it was either inoperable or that I would be severely debilitated and not be able to walk on my own.
Being a single mother of three, this felt wrong and I was finally not willing to take the doctor’s prognosis as being my only option. I started reading, researching all I could, and found an amazing relief and hope through reading Dr Kelly Turner’s Radical Remission book.
I had some initial success with two of the three new lesions in my brain disappearing. I felt strong, like there was hope beyond just the conventional way to ‘fight’ cancer. I resonated with the idea of relaxing, reducing my stress levels, and loving my body to health again.
When I received a terminal diagnosis in Nov of 2023 due to the single lesion spreading I knew there was more hope than what the doctors were offering me. I knew that if others could cure themselves of a similar prognosis then I could too. I gave up working and threw myself into exploring healing and what true health and vitality looks like.

In 2024 I was disease-free and had two MRIs which showed no evidence of disease.
I believe in my innate healing power and feel like this is a gift that can never be taken away from me. No one can ever convince me that anything is incurable again.
The only thing with this journey, is that I have done it alone. Justine’s Radical Remission workshops were what I was looking for. I felt immediately that it was a community of other’s who are interested in seeing what we can do to restore our own health, in not taking a doctor’s dire prognosis as gospel, in choosing to explore what is possible and looking at other research that shows we can heal.

Having the space each week to explore each of the healing factors in depth was such a blessing. Hearing other’s ideas and suggestions as to how we can make these factors practical in our daily lives was great. Sharing resources and meeting other leaders in this space each week was also fantastic as there is so much information and misinformation out there, so having access to healers who are having great results in this space was very valuable.
The one that resonated with me the most was about increasing positive emotions and having more fun in my life. I feel that the whole program has allowed me to have more positive emotions towards each of the healing factors, so I can approach each one with joy and curiosity rather than trying to do it all perfect all of the time. I’m left with a sense of peace, of feeling like I can handle it all and like while I may not know all the reasons I had cancer in the first place, I can now honestly say I wouldn’t give back the lessons I’ve learnt along the way. This is a whole new way to approach life and I wish everyone was given the opportunity to experience these healing factors with Justine!

Despite the setback of new brain lesions prior to Christmas, I honestly just think I let life return to its normal business and forgot to shower myself with all the good stuff I know how to do. I also feel thru that daily ‘busy-ness’ I lost a little of my spark, my daily joy to be alive.

One of the lesions is quite central and has enmeshed itself with a few of the nerves that serve my throat so my vocal cords and swallowing have been affected.
It’s been a very quiet start to the year as I immerse myself again in QiGong, in meditation, and in healing herbs and a nourishing diet.
I’ve done even more releasing of next level suppressed emotions and have focused more on what brings me joy each day.

I have asked the doctor to delay a new therapy for a few weeks until we see the next tracking scan as I truely believe in the regenerative power of our bodies and I feel with my daily QiGong practice in particular that things are already shifting.

My voice is coming back already and they said it never would on its own.
I’m determined to show them what we can do when we put our mind to it.

I’ll never take my health for granted again!

Having embarked on the healing journey in 2019 I continually found myself looking for ways in which I could help myself cope and feel the power of taking my healing into my owns hands where I could. Facebook in this case did me a huge favour as I this is where I found the “Natural Bird”, This straight away resonated with me and I knew I had to find out what this was all about. This is the second time I have completed this course. Both times I learnt so much, there is so much information available and you are discussing this with people who are experiencing or have experienced what you are going through, they understand!! It’s nice to know that there is normality as to how you are feeling. This course has taken the fear away which is fabulous. Justine is a wealth of knowledge and has many many contacts at her fingertips. She is willing to discuss whatever you are, there are no barriers. I’m constantly inspired by the work that Justine does, she radiates so much JOY!! This was and continually is life-changing for me.

From the first session of the Radical Remission workshop with Justine, I felt validated and inspired. This course confirmed the path I was already on and gave me so much information and tips to make changes in the future. While some of the content could have felt overwhelming, Justine’s sensible and reassuring approach really helped settle any nerves or fears of it being too hard. This course reminded me I have so much power and sway in my health journey and was just what I needed. Thank you so much Justine.

Justine is a trove of information which she shared in a light hearted and compassionate way. She is warm, totally relatable and runs a fantastic course. Right from the start I intuitively knew that this was what I was meant to be doing and I found the course empowering, informative, supportive and engaging. Thank you so much Justine
