Sandra has a professional background of many years in cancer and palliative care nursing at a senior level in the NHS and now works on a part time basis. Her focus is always about supporting staff to be able to provide person centred care. She is driven by a passion for excellence in communication, advocating the value of creating a human connection that is based on kindness and compassion. Another passion is about equity of access to the most appropriate care and services for each individual.

Having been heavily involved in Bereavement Care, has led her to become a Celebrant. She believes strongly that everyone “has a story” and it is her great pleasure and privilege to be able to share those stories, embracing the respect and dignity of all as human beings. Life is a journey, sometimes taking us on a path we would not choose to be on but with love and kindness around us, we can get through those times. It is so important to treasure those very special times and events on that journey and celebrate with the joy we are all entitled to have as human beings.

Those special moments for Sandra are with her family and friends who are all precious gifts on her journey.
