How will this book help?

I’ve dedicated my life to providing the right information, at the right time, in the right manner to the cancer community. I’m a leading Australian health expert, my aim is to lift the lid off the taboo of sex and cancer. My extensive and pragmatic knowledge is built from years of experience as an Executive Director of Cancer Information and Support at Cancer Council Victoria, and decades of counselling, teaching, and research in cancer and palliative care. Drawing on the latest evidence in neuroscience, I’ve assisted thousands of patients to ‘reprogram’ their minds to embrace measurable and uplifting changes in their lives, no matter what age, culture, gender, or stage of cancer. So, please reflect honestly and consider, if….

And you just wish that life has returned to normal but you find it hard to see what ‘normal’ is for you and your loved one at this stage of your life. Well, you’re certainly not alone and the good news is… My book is here to help you eliminate all the shame, doubt and struggle from your life and reignite that must-needed spark. It’s time to take charge with my incredible new book….
