Support for women living alongside their partner's cancer diagnosis
Author & Holistic Counsellor
I see you out there with putting on a brave face, yet underneath feeling like life is spinning wildly out of control.
Asking yourself over and over, how can I get through this.
Feeling lost and confused.
Isolated and lonely in your grief.
Struggling to navigate the challenges a cancer diagnosis can bring to your relationship.
Wanting desperately to talk to someone without feeling judged or ashamed.
Scared of the future.
Wondering how this is now your life.
Overwhelmed with all the appointments and schedules.
Feeling selfish for wanting some self-care.
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism.
Unable to sleep.
Begging the universe to make this right again.
I see you because I've been there too

Just like you, I’ve felt all those things and much more. When my husband Rod was first diagnosed with cancer my life and business went on hold. I struggled to come to terms with what was now our life full of medical appointments, scans, treatments, going down the google rabbit hole and trying to hold it all together.
I forgot who I was in the wake of fully supporting Rod through his cancer journey. My beliefs, my values and my way of not only showing up in the world but in our relationship changed in the moment we heard those words “Rod, you have a suspicious mass attached to your heart”.
As a spiritual soul who believes in spirit guides, past lives and tapping into my inner wisdom, I started questioning everything I believed in. But here I am 2 years on, finding my way forward and focussing on my own healing as well as supporting other women through theirs.
In 2024, I wrote about our story and published my book Soulful C: Living Alongside Cancer. To share our story with others allowed me to express my vulnerability and to provide comfort and hope to others who may following a similar journey.
I hope that through my page you can find something that supports you to find calm amongst the chaos that a cancer diagnosis brings. My book is available for purchase or if you would like to connect with me through Holistic Counselling, please feel free to reach out to me. Although I am a fully qualified Professional Counsellor, I like to incorporate holistic practices such as meditation, breathwork, EFT (Tapping) & somatic therapy through our sessions.
I offer online sessions or if you are local to the Mandurah area I do also offer walk and talk, or coffee catch ups. Whilst I do charge for these services, I donate 50% of the fees to various cancer organisations such as Solaris Cancer Care and the Cancer Council WA, to raise awareness and support for those affected by a cancer diagnosis.
My belief is that we are all here to live a full, inspired and creative life in alignment with our values, strengths and desires. To follow our purpose and find a deeper understanding of ourselves, trust in our inner wisdom and live an authentic and soul led life with clarity, calm and confidence. To face the unknown future and know that we have the strength and resilience to cope with all of life's challenges.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with others. It was beautifully written, heartfelt, and incredibly moving. Your journey alongside cancer is profoundly inspiring, and this book is a must read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the impact of cancer on individuals and their loved ones.
Your insights on how cancer affects everyone differently and the coping mechanisms you’ve shared offer comfort and guidance to others navigating similar challenges. Thank you once again for sharing your story with such honesty and grace.
Much love,
Kay
This book took me along for the journey. It was so raw, deep and humours at the same time. Im not much of a reader but I couldn’t not put it down.
Thank you for sharing your story we can understand it and you can support others on their own journeys through living along side cancer x
An inspiring and heartfelt book that gave me a different perspective on living with cancer. Christine's writing took me on an emotional journey (as cancer has touched my life) with a focus on hope and the power of the human mind. Christine shares what has helped her cope during her and Rod's journey which I have found to be so helpful, and I especially loved how her husband Rod shared his perspective too. This book is a must read for anyone touched by cancer, offering inspiration and encouragement to embrace life fully.
