Introducing our purpose-driven team
Chief Executive Officer
Client Services Manager
Retail Manager
Operations Manager
Deborah has held global executive leadership roles for over 30 years across sales and marketing, general management and project management within the wealth management industry, and is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (MAICD)
As a qualified wellness practitioner, she has personally supported many people through her modalities of energy healing, reiki and aromatherapy. Deborah’s Embrace Life™ festivals operated across Sydney and regional NSW, engaging local businesses (including in Penrith and the Blue Mountains), Councils and Chamber of Commerce to showcase the diversity and creativity within each community.
She led and created a purpose-driven collective in her roles of CEO for SoulAdvisor (Australia and New Zealand) and as Director and Chief Operating Officer of the SoulAdvisor Foundation, and is widely known for her commitment to developing the professionalism, accessibility of the wellness industry, and education using evidence-based research.
Deborah was drawn to Cancer Wellness Support as she has always understood the benefits and strengths of complementary therapies, yet witnessed these could often be cost-prohibitive, especially when faced with the financial constraints that a cancer diagnosis can deliver. The overarching model that allows accessibility with a strong community focus and founded on the values of compassion, care and community resonated deeply with her.
Viv commenced with Cancer Wellness Support in 2017 as a Counsellor, and by 2018, she was offered the role of Client Services Manager, a position she continues to thrive in.
As Client Services Manager, she oversees our qualified team of therapists, counsellors and nurses, develops programs and service offerings, liaises with local healthcare professionals and leads our Client Services team to oversee our Wellness Centres in Leura and Penrith.
Her background in nursing and counselling equips her with a unique perspective that bridges medical and complementary therapies, ensuring their therapy offerings and programs align with the needs of their clients and carers.
It’s much more than ‘just a job’ for Viv – it’s her heartfelt commitment to improving the lives of people living with cancer and their families.
