Hello, I'm Wendy. It's now more than 30 years since I faced a shock diagnosis - Stage IV Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma!

That was a turning point in my life. I decided that I needed to change, but I didn't know what or how?

I had pent-up feelings of guilt, anger and fear from past events. I felt out of control of my life, a victim, and pretty sorry for myself struggling as a single mother. I blamed myself for choices I had made in the past. I ate poorly, and didn't take much care of myself....No wonder my immune system gave up!

As so often happens, when we decide things must change, the way forward appears.....I stopped work, read lots of books, and was recommended to join a support group with Petrea King.

For me the philosophy and tools I learned from Petrea King at the Quest for Life Centre were pivotal. They provided me with the mindset and practical tools to be more in control. I got help to deal with the guilt, hurt, fear and helplessness leftover from my past. I used visualisation while receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Meditation gave me great peace of mind. I improved my nutrition, and rested lots. These life transforming learnings continue to guide my life. It was a gift indeed!

My professional work supporting those survivors of cancer and other huge life traumas continues to be informed by Petrea King's teachings and philosophy...

I have over 40 years experience as a Registered Psychologist with skills and experience in personal counselling, therapy, life and career coaching. I now specialise in offering those living with cancer, trauma and similar life challenges tools and strategies to heal.
