What is an Integrative Cancer Coach?

"A few years back I was introduced to Meme by a friend.  I was going through a tough time with my health and just didn't know how to fix it.  I was already on a Chronic treatment program for Leukemia and it was causing havoc with my body.  We had a discussion about how far. I wanted to go with regards to natural foods, what fit into my available time and what I had access to.  I was living in China at the time, so access to certain things was difficult.  She created a plan around my needs, telling me that "any change was better than none".  We implemented changes in a methodical manner that made it much easier for me.  I liked how it felt natural and not overwhelming, so it was easier for those changes to just become part of my normal routine.  We have had to tweak some things along the way, peri-menopause arrived, I moved to the UK, so things needed to be adapted.  It's been 5 years since I met her, I still don't eat anything with preservatives, don't drink alcohol, don't eat takeaway foods, I definitely don't miss any of it.  I made the choice to make the changes, so I don't feel like I am missing out and that's an important mindset. Now I eat mostly organic foods. I have no side effects from my medication and very little symptoms of the peri-menopause.  If you have any health challenges, I would absolutely recommend that you work with Meme.  She is highly skilled, compassionate, and will always work with you to help you achieve your goals."

"I am convinced GAPS diet has saved my life. I was in the depths of despair. For 30 years I had experienced extreme fatigue and various other debilitating symptoms. I had been treated by many nutritionists and doctors, who in some way or another had helped marginally for a while but then things would get worse again. Recently I developed a painful throat with flu-like symptoms, continuing without hardly any let up. Apart from a constant painful and foggy head, debilitating tiredness, a blood disorder, joint and bone pain and unable to go outside because of severe flu-like symptoms, two episodes of pneumonia, but this latest thing was really the worst that I felt I could bear. A friend of mine introduced me to Meme. She has changed my life! I thought that my diet could not be improved. I was eating very healthily, or so I thought, with some organic food also included. I started the diet in April 2013 and three months later I have almost no symptoms except some tiredness and cold feeling. Within two weeks of starting Dr. Natasha McBride's GAPS introduction diet, the majority of my symptoms had reduced significantly. For the first time in a long time, I was feeling more like myself. I am having such fun with the 'new' foods I can now introduce and enjoying my meals like never before! I strongly recommend that anyone feeling poorly in any way, should talk to Meme. She monitors your progress, is there to reassure and encourage you, and helps with little hiccups that may come along. She is a mine of information, and a very, very nice lady!"

"A little background, my 8-year-old son has had several health issues since he turned three years old after his MMR vaccine. Constantly sick, flu, anemic. Was in ICU with blood transfusions, on steroids to stop his body attacking itself, auto immune issues, the oncology specialist informed me my son suffers from Auto-Immune Haemolytic Anaemia. Best way to describe it, is, the body “eats” his blood, resulting in extremely low platelet count. let’s just say a mother’s nightmare…. I struggled for years till I met Meme. She offered to help me with my son, however, it would require a lifestyle change and quite a big learning curve. As a mom with a really sick child, I was willing to try anything. I had my son at a pediatrician, they prescribed extremely strong antibiotics to fight an infection he picked up. Through the whole process Meme guided me about nutrition, sent me a detailed questionnaire about my son to pinpoint the “triggers”. I was shocked and felt overwhelmed about how much we eat and feed our children that actually causes them harm! I Cannot thank her enough for words of comfort and encouragement through the whole ordeal! And of course, the bombardment of questions I asked. Through her education, guidance, and support, my son improved faster than he ever did before with doctors…. Yes, the information is a lot to take in, it is a LOT of changes, it feels overwhelming, but, by now I am so adjusted, that I don’t have to read every single label, check every single item, as I am now used to recognise what is good and what is not. The improvement with my son’s health has improved my lifestyle, not constantly having to give medication, check his temperature etc etc. has literally changed our lives, and most importantly… it has IMPROVED my son’s health… There are really not the right words or ode one can pay to a person who has literally saved your child’s life. All I can hope for is that more people can find help like I did, and save more children and of course themselves! It’s hard, it takes some effort to reprogram, but, believe me, worth it once you see the results and improvement. Plus, Meme guides you through the whole process making it MUCH easier to be healthy! There isn’t much I can say except, thank you Meme! And that I hope more people can be helped and guided to a better quality of life! PS the protocol food and recipes are delicious! Just a grateful Mum."

I was introduced to Meme via a boating friend who met Meme on the water in Falmouth He was keen for me to speak to her as we appeared to share similar interests in life. I am eternally grateful our paths crossed as without her one of my best friends, (diagnosed with cancer and given no more than 5 years to live), would not be here today. The advice and help she offered turned that friends life around. Meme opens your eyes to how we should look after ourselves and guides us in every step of that journey. Her depth of knowledge and understanding is second to none and she is supportive, kind and patient. Here is a woman you can trust your life with and will do everything she can to save that precious life. She’ll teach you what steps you can take to look after yourself and whatever your problem is she will endeavour to find a solution. I have known Meme for several years now and will continue to do my best to support her as she has supported me. I have encouraged a group of friends to participate in her 8 week course ‘ Reduce your risk’ and after the first session they are already very impressed with her, (as a person), as well as the the course content. She is inspirational and a font of knowledge. Meme is the person you want at your side. She looks at individual issues objectively and offers solutions that take into account the reality of putting everything into practice as well as the cost. I have been on a 6 week Candida cleanse as well as a blood cleansing protocol before an operation and lost count on how many people noticed how healthy I looked along with how great I felt myself. I have a tendency to slip off track and so this course she has devised is exactly the right way for me to take responsibility for myself having learnt the fundamentals from Meme. Meme becomes your friend throughout your journey whatever that journey might be and won’t let you down. I can’t find the words to explain the goodness that is in this lady. Thank you Meme you’re remarkable.

"My family and I will always be grateful to Meme for her kindness, patience and generosity while helping us when we most needed it. She responded to all our questions and doubts with her wealth of knowledge and thoroughly researched information which gave us the courage and confidence needed to persist with the protocol and consequently reap the benefits. When dealing with the worst health challenges life can throw at you, there is no one better than Meme to have at your side to help you through.   Thank you Meme for helping me get my health back."

I met Meme at a time when I had been diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2014, given 2-3 years (it is now 2022) I have always been sceptical of alternative medicine and would not have been receptive if the traditional chemo/radiotherapy was as option. Meme has developed a flexible program, bespoke to heal the specific condition. I am very grateful to have met her Meme created a protocol to combat the terminal cancer, within 9 months of my scans showed the tumours had shrunk. We have used this anti-cancer anti-inflammatory protocol to also reduce inflammation within my body My mantra is “What would Meme do”
