When women came to me after mastectomy, I could see the grief, uncertainty and fear in their eyes. Many had survived surgery and treatment, or taken proactive steps to avoid breast cancer, but were left alone with silent battles around body image, confidence, and intimacy.

I know this pain personally. I walked alongside my beautiful mum through her breast cancer journey with a double mastectomy, and later faced my own BRCA diagnosis and preventative mastectomy. No one asked us how we felt. No one talked about the body image struggles.

With decades of experience as a Clinical Psychologist, Registered Nurse, and Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, I knew I had to change that silence.

Healing Body Project is that promise: a place for women to rebuild confidence, self-worth, and identity after mastectomy.
