I’m Gabrielle Mottershead, known as Gabby, wellness coach, author & cancer thriver & I show people how to take back their health & power.

For many years I was a stressed out senior manager at work, wife and mother (my husband and sons got what little was left of my energy) I had no time to get sick, or to look after my own health.

And then I got diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer and my world was turned upside down. I got through treatment, chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, radiotherapy. At the end of all that I expected to feel triumphant, I had 'won the battle' with cancer. Except I felt lower than ever, all the support I had through treatment melted away.

Life when the cancer treatment ended and the Get Well cards came down was a shock.

I was alone. Lost. Afraid. Crippling anxiety. Living in fear of the cancer coming back. Confused about nutrition and how to care for myself. My corporate career that I had worked so hard to build - I felt nothing for it, I reflected a lot on how I had been running on empty for years- and I think it was stress that made me ill

How could I move forward?

Well, I studied harder than I ever had before, nutritional healing, reiki, coaching and NLP, Feng Shui, breathwork, lots of different healing modalities. I saw so many doctors and therapists. I read so many books and attended countless seminars searching for the answers I needed. When I understood that my biggest challenge was FEAR, I knew I had to start to heal by changing my mindset. I had to rebuild my confidence in myself.

This is what made me create Confidence After Cancer, now I am happy, healthy and fulfilled doing what I love, using my experience to help others.

I help women to have a successful career without sacrificing their health after cancer treatment
