On January 14, 2020, my world changed with a single diagnosis: breast cancer, possibly spreading to lymph nodes. The news was staggering. In that whirlwind, I sought clarity and control.

Despite the inner doubts and the fear of the unknown, I chose a different path. I opted out of conventional treatments, chemotherapy, and radiation—in favour of natural healing. It wasn’t an easy decision. The “what ifs” echoed in my mind: What if it grows? What if it spreads? What if it takes my life?

Amidst this turmoil, I found solace in the Radical Remission course. Connecting with other women on similar journeys, especially as the world grappled with the COVID-19 pandemic, provided a sense of community and understanding.

I prioritised emotional healing, knowing it was key to my overall well-being. With a healthy lifestyle already in place, I delved deep into clearing the emotional patterns that may have contributed to my illness.

This journey has taught me the importance of living authentically and honouring my body, mind, and spirit. I’ve emerged stronger and more courageous, grateful for the newfound clarity and purpose cancer has brought into my life.

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.

I have no doubt in my mind that the Radical Remission course I did with Justine saved my life.

I was diagnosed in Feb 2020 with stage 4 bowel cancer. I fronted up to my first round of chemo only to be told that I had been designated ‘palliative’ so no options for surgery and limited options for chemo. My first reaction was disbelief, followed quickly by anger, followed by a resounding NO! I demanded a second opinion but it became apparent almost immediately that if I wanted other options I had to find them myself.

My family was in free fall and I felt so alone, so numb.. But still, I was determined to take action and take charge of my health.

Through a support Facebook page I found other people in similar circumstances. It was there that I had incredibly kind people reach out to me and share their research – and it gave me hope. But I was floundering, there were so many options. What was the best thing to do?

The Radical Remission workshop came out just after I started chemo. I was hesitant at first but nervously took the plunge. It was amazing. I immediately felt like I’d found my tribe. In the first week, they listened to my story, and I listened to theirs, and it was such a powerful thing to do. It gave me so much hope. And, as we worked our way through the 10 healing factors, we laughed, and we cried (often), and I learned so much. I gained confidence in understanding what I could do and learnt to trust my instincts.

These factors and these people, my people, have been embedded into my life, and I have been changed in such a positive way. Four years on, and our group is still in regular contact. We support each other through the ups and downs of this journey we call life. My heart is full of gratitude every day.

Our group continued to do the group coaching workshops with Justine & Jenny Kennedy (Intuitive Healer), which were amazing support too and allowed us to continue our healing.

I’d always followed and admired Justine from afar, I never thought we’d get to meet, but how wrong was I! I was diagnosed with widespread, high grade DCIS in March 2022, and my first thoughts were I needed to see her.

The thing that perplexed me most was she didn’t tell me what to do, funnily enough in retrospect that’s exactly what I was running away from, GPs and hospitals telling me what I “must do”, or things “I’d be mad not to do”.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not some hippy from the outer edge, I’m a 61 year old grandmother of 5, ex-registered nurse, and learner of many things. But I’d had cervical cancer at 30 and knew I could trust my intuition, and in the end that was my answer and Justine’s questions to me were……

How does it all feel? 
What would I like to do with this diagnosis?
What are my non-negotiable’s?

All of which only I knew the answer to…
Justine supported me by supplying the comfort of a safe place to just talk, I was given info, ideas and avenues that were open to me for my journey. All I had to do was see how they all sat for me.

I am now several months out and feel secure and happy with my decisions, and the path going forward, with absolutely no regrets. When questions return I know Justine is just a call away with kindness, support and knowledge.

If you’re not sure where to even start and have been thinking of making the call, do it and just be open to the possibilities.

Thank you Justine

I have suffered from depression, been diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer, have Parkinson disease and epilepsy, experienced major brain surgery, diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) … certainly not the best way to live

But then I was told about Justine and her ability to help people escape from suffering by taking on the total holistic approach to live a better life.

My first appointment with Justine was absolutely amazing. From there on it has meant making changes in my daily routines, discovering who I really am, thinking and growing in a positive environment, and most important … loving myself for who I am.
Justine’s effective holistic teaching and support has helped me see myself from a totally different and positive way.

A heap of thanks I send to you, Justine.

I contacted Justine after I had surgery and radiotherapy for breast cancer I was tired, run down, overloaded with information and anxious about making the best choices around supplements and diet alternatives.

From the first time I met Justine (and her smile), I knew I was finally on the right path. Not only does she “walk the talk” herself – she genuinely wants to empower her clients to love themselves and their bodies again. Justine recommended supplements and real foods to get my gut health functioning properly and my health began to improve dramatically.

The real healing began, however, when she challenged my thinking about my life and how I wanted to live going forward. I prioritise things that give me joy and fulfilment and no longer feel guilt around this. I now don’t fear cancer returning but know exactly who I would turn to first if it ever did.

Thank you, Justine, for your kindness, knowledge, continued support and genuineness xx

Following a highly stressful few years, I was physically and emotionally exhausted and close to burn out, again. Visiting Justine was life-changing; literally. She is incredibly knowledgeable and really listens. The consultation was comprehensive and holistic, looking at every area of my life. Within a week I had blood results, and with them, the answer to my health issues — I had vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Discovering that there are optimal levels when it comes to blood results, rather than just the normal range I’d always been aware of, was a revelation. After following Justine’s prescribed supplementation regime, I started to feel better within just a few weeks.

Update to 2024…I’m so incredibly grateful for all I’ve learned from you, Justine.

When I look back four years to when I first came for a consultation, I don’t even recognise myself. I’m healthier, more energetic, and happier than I’ve ever, ever been.

Thank you for all you do.
