Oh my goodness! What a journey health and wellness can be! A serious health crisis faced by both Karen and Nina led them to understand SO much more about the importance of how we take part in our own lives.
Health Coaches For Everyone – If you want to feel great, and live a happier, healthier life, you have come to the right place
Our Approach:
Even when you know that making changes would make all the difference to how you feel, how you cope day to day or the potential outcome of a chronic health condition, it isn’t always easy to maintain motivation and stick to those changes…sometimes, even the thought of identifying those changes can be confronting – that’s where a Health Coach can have an impact.
When we can appreciate what we have right now, in this moment, so much becomes possible.

CANsurvive – supporting all cancer journeys
Happy Sunday to you 🌞💞….Next Thursday 12th September is our monthly Support Group meeting.Assisted dying is a controversial topic. But one that needs to be discussed. The following comments are those of Karen’s.
Palliative care does a great job – but it’s true to say the drugs they use can’t always manage the pain patients struggle with…often relentless, intense, bone deep pain all day, every day.
Sometimes for weeks, sometimes for months.
And then there’s the body that shuts down, trapping the ‘I’ of who that person is, in a body unable to move, sometimes unable to eat or breath without assistance, with organs shutting down, not able to express the joy of who ‘I’ is.
Can you imagine the physical pain & heart ache someone might feel?
Assisted dying is about allowing someone the choice to let go of their life a few weeks or months before it is going to end anyway…through illness. For their families it’s about being able to express their love through their understanding. It’s about stepping aside and allowing the life of their loved one to end with dignity – meeting the needs of their loved one…not their own…it’s NEVER easy to let go.
It isn’t easy to say a permanent goodbye to anyone you love. To say goodbye having witnessed the physical & emotional pain some
endure right up until the end of their life is heart wrenching. Assisted dying is about bringing relief, allowing dignity to take centre stage and about supporting the needs of the patient – to die on their terms – not the terms of their illness or a hospital care plan.
I’ve read the following letter…there is a lot of misleading information here. And comparisons made that are not comparable. There is terminology used that is incorrect & I wonder if the author of this letter has ever spent time with people who would find assisted dying a relief from the illness they live with…or spent time with the families of those who have had to watch their loved one living through the end of their illness in pain? I wonder if the author has spoken to the nurses & doctors who have been unable to relieve the suffering of their patients?
Assisted Dying is about compassion & understanding. It’s not about convenience or economics. It’s about being human & loving that human person in their struggle.“VOLUNTARY ASSISTED SUICIDE”
This is how Bunbury Catholic Bishop Gerard Holohan has described voluntary assisted dying.
Here is the letter he sent to his Parishioners.👇
It’s upset some members of the Catholic community.
This is what one person told the ABC:
“I’m a Catholic who’s very unhappy with his limiting view point & lack of will to even understand the ramifications for those living with pain & no dignity at the end of their life."
Do you support voluntary assisted dying?
Angelina Jolie would tell you to commit to your life like crazy.
Let your amazingness shine & illuminate this moment, this day & your life.
The Encore Program is well worth taking part in & Victoria is a great facilitator. If you know of anyone who might benefit let them know that the next one is running in Bunbury.
