Offered absolutely no hope of a future with her children, Shellie Clark single-mindedly rebuilt her hope and created a future for herself.

Refusing to be ‘boxed in’ by the shockingly poor life expectancy she was given following a diagnosis of late stage melanoma, Shellie Clark decided to open herself to the possibility of a radical remission, and to press forward with hope towards that. Today she is fit and well and has supported hundreds of others in coming to terms with their situation and finding out how best to respond. The message she brings to the integrative medicine space is that it’s not so much what you do to regain your wellbeing – important though this may be – but where you are in yourself when taking those steps. This she maintains is critical.
