Originally a reflexologist, Kim Nelson felt a deep calling to help people living with cancer. When she moved to the Blue Mountains, she searched online for complementary therapies and discovered Cancer Wellness Support. The connection was immediate, particularly after a fellow mum shared her own experience with lymphoedema and the incredible support she had received from our Wellness Centre. 

Intrigued and inspired, Kim reached out to our founder, Robyn Yates OAM. The two quickly discovered a shared vision, and Kim knew she had found a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Everything seemed to align perfectly from there, with her first client even helping her find the clinic space she now practises from.

Eight years later, Kim loves that her clients can receive ongoing and regular treatments. She understands that cancer is often a long and emotional journey, with no set end point. Whether it’s dealing with memories of surgery, ongoing scans and assessments, or the challenges of living with a diagnosis, the emotional toll can be significant.

In recent years, Kim has expanded her expertise to include craniosacral therapy, a practice that she describes as the perfect middle ground between traditional therapy and bodywork. Craniosacral therapy focuses on deep listening to the body, providing a safe space for both physical and emotional release. Every session is unique, and her clients often describe it as feeling like a homecoming back into the cells of their body to create safety.

For Kim, being part of Cancer Wellness Support aligns with her purpose-driven approach to life. She takes pride in making vital therapies affordable and accessible to everyone, knowing that without this support, many wouldn’t be able to afford the treatments they need. 

We thank Kim for her dedication and compassionate care as an invaluable part of our community.
