Lorien has stage 4 breast cancer, which has rapidly spread throughout her body. This has left her unable to walk or leave hospital. We’re asking you to donate so that she can fast track her recovery to be back at home with her beloved two year old son Jahvi, living a full life again with her family and to support them financially during this impossibly difficult time.

What's Happened:

A few months ago, Lorien strained her back. As the pain grew and her mobility shrank, she knew something wasn’t right… A trip in the ambulance and an MRI revealed devastating and completely unexpected news: breast cancer that had spread to her spine and multiple other areas of her body...

Since early October, Lorien has been in hospital. She has completed radiation, has started hormone treatment alongside regenerative protocols and is scheduled for a surgery on her femur.

Getting Her Back To Her Little Boy

Lorien is meeting this the way she meets everything: with grace, courage and hope. Alongside the various oncological treatments, she has done deep inner work and is drawing on nourishing, holistic support to rebuild her body.

She is however facing a substantial physical recovery, particularly involving her bones and spine. The bones rebuilding alone could take a year, and her overall recovery may extend well beyond that. Until she can walk, she will remain in hospital.

As you can imagine this is putting an immeasurable strain on her little family.

We want to get Lorien back on her feet with strength, mobility and independence and back home to a healthy, active life celebrating the beauty of nature with her family & friends and sharing her creativity with the world.

Until then, we want to make sure she, Cam and Jahvi are supported by alleviating some financial strain.

Reducing Financial Strain

Over the next 12 months, Lorien's main concern is ensuring Jahvi is thriving in her absence. To facilitate this, Cam has stepped back from work (he is self-employed) to care for him and be at Lorien's side.

Her mum, Alora, and step-dad, Brian, are at the hospital daily, making sure Lorien remains nourished to facilitate her healing.

The costs of treatment, consultations and supportive therapies are ongoing, expensive and adding up.

Where Your Donation Will Go

How You Can Help

Lorien has spent her life encouraging others to nourish themselves. Now we’re asking our community to surround her with that same goodness.

Who is Lorien?

She is pure love, light and kindness.

For those who know Lorien, you’ll know she has a beautiful way of experiencing life. She naturally sees the best in things—the beauty of nature, the joy within a simple moment, and the value of meaningful relationships. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she has a way of helping others appreciate life a little more deeply.

This is also at the heart of what she has shared with the world through her work in holistic wellbeing over the last two decades. Lorien knows that nourishing food, meaningful self-care and authentic relationships can make a profound difference to how we feel and live, and has followed these principles in her own life – despite finding herself facing this health journey.

Her philosophy is captured in the name of her brand, Wholesome Loving Goodness, and a phrase she often shares: “Nourish yourself with goodness, for you are made of greatness.” For Lorien, this is about recognising the goodness in ourselves and in life, and allowing the simple things we do to nourish us to create a positive ripple through our days and relationships.

Since becoming a mother, her greatest joy has been raising Jahvi. Her love and excitement for him are infectious, and being his mum is without question her greatest passion. Becoming a mum has been a natural extension of her already selfless, present, playful nature and her incredible capacity to love, nurture and be in awe and gratitude have expanded further since his arrival.

Whether you know Lorien personally or have simply connected with her story, thank you in advance for helping us bring her home and hold her family during this time.

With so much love and gratitude,

Jasmin, on behalf of Cameron, Lorien, Jahvi & their families, Alora, Brian, Mary & Glenn
