So I spent some time with her learning about how she is making a difference to other women’s lives.
Yes, I am doing very well, thank you.
When I finished treatment, I had questions about my health and how I would stay healthy and not have to go through this again. I know other women have these same questions after treatment. This is one of the reasons why I wrote my book Healing Food Healthy Foods and setup Rock on Divas. The idea and vision with Rock on Divas spa days and retreats is to help and support women through the healing process after treatment.
Rather than them spending time and energy trolling through the mine field of information online which I have already done, I want to guide them in the right direction through my experience and the knowledge I now have.
It initially started out that way but when I thought more about it, I decided it didn’t have to be just cancer. There are so many women out there with different chronic illnesses who need help and support. There are also other women who have not been seriously sick but just feel like they need to heal and get healthy from the stress of life. And why not?!
The women can expect informative workshops from me and other speakers, healthy food and juices, gentle yoga classes, pampering spa treatments and full use of the spa facilities. Here’s the thing, they come in with questions, feeling emotionally and physically drained from their ordeal, and I want them to leave feeling revitalised, empowered and equipped with the knowledge that they can heal and move forward with life and ready to face the world again.
No, not yet. I will be working with specific spas in London and around the M25 area. In time, I would like to roll it out across the country.
There will be on-going support for those who would like to have it. As a health coach, I run two programmes where I support women on a one-to-one basis. The two programmes, Body Boost which runs for 3 months, and Optimised Health, which runs for 6 months, are designed to support them through healing and staying healthy. I provide them with the necessary health information specifically tailor-made for them as an individual.
As part of the spa days and retreat programmes, I will be offering those who attend a free health consultation with me, where I find out more about them, their health goals and talk about how to achieve those goals.
Yes, I will. I will be posting feedback and testimonials on my website and blogging about the events when they happen.
