About Me
My name is Cornelis, but my friends call me Cor.
I came to Australia as a young adult pursuing the love of my life. We got married and raised our three children. Over the past thirty years I have had a diverse career as store manager, IT trainer, programmer, accountant, business analyst, project and program manager and senior executive. I was also a lay minister at our local church for over 15 years and served an interested audience in my own online spiritual community. Most importantly though has always been my role as husband and father.
I have a strong and keen commitment for what is good and true, with a special interest on promoting individual freedom of mind and body through spirituality. My role as carer for my family has also led me into an active interest in economics, politics and health.
More recently I have been caring for my wife full-time, who was diagnosed in May 2023 with aggressive KRAS mutation Stage IV colorectal (aka bowel) cancer. I had never failed a project in my career and now she became my most important ever. In the process of studying thousands of hours, paying a lot of money for books and published scientific papers, talking in-depth with doctors, pharmacists, dietitians and allied health professionals I gained a lot of expert practical knowledge. There is a lot cancer patients can do so support and enhance their treatments!
While my wife’s initial medical prognosis was 6-12 months, by integrating and applying all the knowledge about what we could do in support, we ended up experiencing several miracles and enjoyed living life together for almost another three years. On our journey I found that many others can benefit from my help – sadly help the mainstream medical system does not provide or encourage.
Now my life is dedicated to support others like you (either as patient or carer) as best I can within the fields of my expertise: cancer support, health and nutrition, and christian spirituality. I offer this in form of a high availability coaching and mentoring service with fortnightly or even weekly touch points. This is in contrast to oncology naturopaths and integrative doctors and who can only touch base once every three months or so. I purposefully limit the number of clients I support to ensure you get the prioritised and personalised attention that you actually need.
I think here I must tell you before anything else: you are NOT a victim – you have agency! You are unique, independent and important! The whole world will benefit if you shine positively in your own passion! Neither a complex Swiss clock nor the body of Christ can afford a single member to be devalued – we impact one another and are interdependent on each other! You matter. Now is not the time to give up or hide, so please stand up, be strong and hold your head up high. We can do this together!
“Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you.” – Matthew 17:20
