From Grace:

Who am I?

For most of my life ≈I am now 56 ≈I have had an intimate connection with healthy lifestyles. I became a vegetarian at 5 years of age and was enjoying fresh juices and exercise at my uncle’s gymnasium when I was at high school. We always at wholemeal bread, my mum cooked in stainless steel and I learned about and used natural Swiss Skin care products because in my biology classes I learned about the absorptive capacity of our skin. “The skin absorbs 60% of all chemicals we use on our skin and hair.”  –  Health Report UK

I was really in to total health care!

Or so I thought…..but there was more to come…

Although I became a part-time model, my interest was science based in particular veterinary science and cancer medicine. Keen to pay my way through university I also became a veterinary nurse ≈ then a major crossroad appeared in my life “my personal road-test” I married a vet who had cancer, serious life threatening bone cancer.

Walking on that road to recovery with him provided me with tremendous experience and knowledge , based on the choices I made; my destiny was determined. This then led to studies and qualifications in natural healthcare throughout the late 1970’s and 1980’s. I learned about the importance of attitude, psychological states that enhance recovery and importantly the immense capacities of the human spirit and the soul’s needs in this life.

My work with cancer patients saw the establishment of the Gawler Foundation ≈ with an in depth understanding of the role of proactive advocate & care-giver combined with my qualifications and an intimate understanding of the nature of cancer, the next part of my life was mapped out.

However in 1997 – my marriage ended abruptly – in shock my uterus prolapsed. The surgical repair went awry and overnight I became a patient. Massively damaged nerves meant that my bowel ceased to function. 20 major surgeries later and a bionic device combined with an amazing formulation from the USA, have seen me make an unexpected and full recovery.

With all that experience behind me my understanding of the definition of real Wellness has morphed and evolved into more than a holistic model of care ≈ some call it a holographic approach.
