Re-growing my landscape - Cancer survivor
To JoannaWell of course it has to be trees on this card!
Thank you so much for helping me to re-grow my landscape after the devastation of cancer and chemo.
You've helped me to not only strengthen my roots but to also grow some new branches and saplings.
The work we have done together has provided me with a richer landscape that I aim to nurture and cultivate.
I could not have done as much without you warmth, humour and care.
So thanks for such a wonderful opportunity to experience Havening and all you have taught me.

Since I have been Havened I feel like a new person - NHS Nurse
You changed my life completely. Turned it upside down with good effect. I cannot thank you enough. I feel free, alive and totally relaxed. I am able to deal with situations in a more organised way. I feel since having been Havened, I am like a new person. I understand now life's up and downs can stress you out and take a hold. I know not not to let it get that way again.Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget how you helped me when I was at my lowest. SB.
