Karen approached our sessions with warmth...
Approaching the end of 5 years on tamoxifen following a breast cancer diagnosis, I was full of anxiety about losing the protection this drug gave me. I kept putting the date off and needed some extra confidence to just do it. I really wanted to find out what I could do to protect my body in a more holistic way as I knew that I wanted to be over the drug side effects. My profile was complex as I also have type 1 diabetes, but from the outset it was clear that Karen had a wealth of knowledge to share and her nutritional advice was based on thorough research and nuanced understanding of my medical and emotional needs. The programme felt achievable and tuned in to how my personality might influence adopting any changes.
Karen’s support was dynamic, positive and engaging. She doesn’t let you off the hook but offers great encouragement and always has some wise words to help you tackle whatever obstacles you encounter. Most important, she approached our sessions with warmth, empathy and kindness and I quickly grew to trust her enormously.
I have come off tamoxifen now and feel all the better for it. I wake up full of energy and people continually comment on how good my skin and hair look. I feel full of energy and empowered to make good choices around my health. Thanks to Karen, I have made many positive changes which are now becoming permanent features in my life.
