MY STORY
Sandra Bottrell - Holistic Counsellor
Supporting you on your journey towards holistic well-being.
At the age of 32 I received a life changing diagnosis of blood cancer, sparking my 30 year journey back to health and healing.
In the beginning I focused on health and nutrition, discovering small simple changes significantly improved my symptoms and overall well being. Alongside nutrition I studied natural therapies, and many different healing methods all improving the quality of my life living with a diagnosis.
It wasn’t until I started exploring emotions and mental health that the complete puzzle began to take shape. Through my work in holistic counselling and grief counselling, I found I had an ability to support people to navigate their challenges and consistently observed a link between emotional and mental wellbeing and illness.
I became passionate about educating people about the transformational impact of releasing repressed emotions and dealing with grief and loss.
Mental and emotional support is a service that was not only paramount to healing but hugely missing in what was currently available. Having lived through the journey myself I knew what I could offer to support others walking the same path.
My business allows me to share my life’s work of self healing. I offer support during times of emotional stress, grief, illness, and also when presented with a diagnosis, so you can find your way back to health. I combine all my expertise, training and life experience to enable you to find clarity and calmness during what can be a confusing and turbulent time, in a way that is sustainable for you.
Sandra can guide and support you to find your inner strength and power to discover the best healing path for your individual needs; providing peace of mind during the journey, and assisting you to find the best possible outcome.
