All the units are made by myself, with realistic hairlines and baby hairs , the length range can start from 10 inchs to 24 inchs long. I like to do a one on one consultation with you either on the phone, in person or over email to get a good understanding of the perfect unit you would like.

I also travel (mostly Christchurch area) to the comfort of your own home if wished upon so you are in a comfortable familiar environment. Whilst working in Australia I was volunteering at the Peter Mc Cullum Cancer Centre. there i would do wig fittings , shaving of hair and all Q&As around Wigs. Majority of my patients their wished they could have a more luxurious head piece and one that was not synthetic. This was the point in my career where I wanted that to change , I have now made that possible with the Ministry of Health giving me the ok to accept service payments to all my clients and patients.

We paddle a dragon boat!

We took up the challenge from a visiting group of Canadian breast cancer survivors back in 1999 to form a team to race dragon boats. The rest is history, as they say.

Our team members come from all walks of life, we're all different shapes and sizes, we range in age from early 30s to late 70s, the one thing we all have in common, and which bonds us in a very special way, is a diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer.

Having stared the beast in the face, and won, we want to show other women facing this frightening diagnosis that there is light at the end of the tunnel and active life after treatment.

We want to raise general awareness about breast cancer, act as a reminder to have regular breast examinations and mammograms, and serve as an inspiration to all women that yes, we can do anything, and that illness or age need not be a barrier to having a go and, most importantly, having fun, which we most surely do!

Taranaki’s breast cancer survivors formed the team late 2007 after becoming inspired when attending the inaugural Breast Cancer Conference in Rotorua. Worldwide there are more than 100 Breastcancer Survivor Dragonboat teams and the benefits of paddling have long been recognised.

With a ‘can do’ attitude, they decided this sport could be started in Taranaki. They placed an ad in the local newspaper to recruit the first members, got a dragonboat from the NZ Dragonboat association and purchased paddles with the help of many sponsors.

We base ourselves at the Waitara river and we paddle from near the river mouth upstream so are dependent on tides and other boaties slowing down near us.

On a calm day, we enjoy the peace and quiet of the river and the superb views of Mount Taranaki.

I am a specialist in laser tattoo removal. I have operating for 18 months using the latest state of the art laser technology. I have had breast cancer and had both my breasts removed. I did not like having the tattooed radiotherapy marker dots as they were a constant reminder of that episode in my life. I have therefore removed them using my laser. I would like the opportunity to do the same, free of charge for anyone who feels the same about their markers as I did. The only stipulation is that they wait for a full year following their last treatment, whether that be chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Thank you, Jane Graham

Breast reconstruction after a mastectomy can enhance a woman's physical and mental well-being and overcome the problems caused by a sense of unevenness after the loss of a breast. Although reconstructive plastic surgery cannot reproduce a normal breast, the aim is to recreate as accurate a likeness as possible which helps to restore a sense of wholeness and balance. Breast reconstruction is a very detailed and complex subject and the information on our website is intended simply as an introduction to a much fuller discussion with your surgeon.
