Welcome to ¾ÞÈéÎÞÂë Royal Free

Whatever kind of cancer, and whatever stage you’re at – we're here for you.

Our centre is a space for being together or for a moment alone, for getting going again or for meeting people who just get it.

All our cancer support specialists have expert knowledge about cancer and treatment, and many are NHS-trained.

The kettle's already on – just come in.

Position:

Centre Head

I look after the running of the centre and make sure my team and I are providing the best possible cancer support. 

I have many years’ experience as a cancer nurse in different settings and specialise in cancer information both online and face-to-face. I also have a special interest in long term effects of cancer treatments.

I’m here to listen, to help you talk things over and to find the information and support that’s right for you and your family. I also run several of our support groups, courses and workshops.

I am an acupuncturist with over 30 years' experience as a Taiji (Tai chi) and Qigong instructor.

My Qigong (pronounced 'chee gung') sessions involve gentle exercise and stretches that combine breath with movement.
