Eve sitting drinking a cup of tea


 

Hello, I'm Eve.

After four cancer diagnoses, it's the power of stillness that has sustained me. Through meditation and mindfulness, I've found ways to stay steady, soften anxiety, and reconnect to life—even in the hard moments. Now, I share these practices with others walking the cancer path—patients, caregivers, and survivors. This space is here for you. Take what helps. Leave what doesn't. Come back anytime.

 
 
 
 

A Path to healing

If you have days when the fog won't lift, tiredness clings, and your body just isn't bouncing back the way you'd imagined — you're not alone.

Cancer and its treatments can take a toll—not just on your body but on your mind and spirit too. Fatigue, a hazy brain, and anxiety can all linger long after treatment, leaving you wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again.

Learning meditation and mindfulness is something we can do for ourselves as an integrated and complementary element of the treatment pathway. These practices are fierce allies, proven to help settle the nervous system, ease pain and anxiety, and rebuild resilience and clear perspective to support your healing. They are enduring companions, staying with you long after treatment ends—becoming vital tools for grounded living as you reclaim your strength and sense of self.

Courses

 

I currently teach mindfulness meditation courses through Macmillan Cancer Support, creating safe, supportive spaces for individuals living with and beyond cancer. I share practices to help people navigate the challenges of treatment and recovery with greater resilience and ease.

Looking ahead, I plan to collaborate with other cancer charities and community groups to widen access to these practices. I will also be offering free meditations for individuals here on my website from the autumn. If you're interested in learning more or exploring the possibility of bringing a course to your organisation, please feel free to get in touch.

About Eve

I first learned Transcendental Meditation in 1988 and then began a quiet dance with the practice—sometimes drawing closer, sometimes stepping away, but always finding myself returning to its steadying rhythm.

In the 1990s, a work opportunity sparked an unexpected adventure.  This led our young family to relocate to New Zealand where I worked as a Strategic Advisor to Chief Executives across large government departments. I spent long hours in boardrooms with senior leaders—places where camaraderie was rare and any sense of wellbeing even more so.

Throughout it all, meditation remained a quiet thread in my life. Over time, I began sharing simple meditation practices with colleagues during our lunch breaks. They told me they started to find small moments of calm, and greater clarity and resilience in their busy days.

A year or so later, I became seriously unwell. In preparation for a gruelling two-year treatment schedule — including nine major surgeries and eight months of chemotherapy — I decided to strengthen my practice and do a 10-day Vipassana silent meditation retreat. It was there I had a powerful insight: I wanted to train as a meditation teacher and take this wonderful practice into workplaces to help restore some balance and humanity in professional life.

That was over 12 years ago. Since returning to the UK, alongside completing a Master's degree and delivering complex change programmes as a Workplace Change Project Manager, I've earned three formal qualifications as a meditation teacher. I've taught mindfulness and meditation in organisations such as the British Red Cross, the Francis Crick Institute, Cancer Research UK, IOSH, and BBC Radio Kent.

In 2019, just before I started leading weekly drop-in meditation sessions during lockdown, I was diagnosed with cancer for the third time. It was early and treatable with surgery alone. But then in 2023, I received a fourth diagnosis—this time, they told me it was metastatic and incurable.

It has been a very non-linear time with a mix of grief and joy in equal measure. I've been on chemotherapy tablets that have made me feel sick and tired all the time. I've lived with uncertainty most days. I've experienced pain from radical surgery. I begin radiotherapy soon.

There are days when I wonder if I'll ever feel like myself again. And still, it is my meditation practice and having (as much as I can) a mindful approach to living that has helped carry me through. Not every day, not perfectly—but enough for me to feel like I have something solid beneath my feet to help me walk my path with more ease and be more connected to the joy to be found in the world.

I don't see myself returning to corporate work. Instead, I am committed to something that feels more deeply aligned with where I am now. I share these practices with others living with and beyond cancer—people navigating anxiety, treatment, fatigue, and uncertainty. I offer what I know not just from study but from living it. Meditation and mindfulness are not abstract ideas to me. They are tools that have helped me steady myself again and again through some of the most challenging chapters of my life. It's a privilege to walk this path with others—to offer these practices as fierce allies and enduring companions on a path to healing.
