Lovely meeting all of the Breast Care Nurses.

 This morning I was fortunate to be included in a conference (including on line) with Breast Care Nurses in QLD. Just awesome to get to know more of you. They graciously gave me around 45 minutes to tell them about what we do at Spirit of Life and how we can help their patients.


Thank you so much ladies.

Many thanks ladies.

So where has the time gone?

 So it's more than 18 months since I have taken the time to update my blog.  We definitely live in "Interesting times" right now. Masks, limited number of people in shops and always wondering when or if our lives will get back to normal.

The Boutique has been surprisingly busy of late. Due to supply issues we ran our newsletter special in October this year instead of September. A couple of great offers from our friends at Amoena which resulted in us selling a staggering amount of prostheses and partial forms. Just like the old days. The only real difference for the customer experience was that we did a lot more appointments and a lot less "walk ins". 

Obviously everybody is welcome, no matter whether you book or walk in. But you usually get in and out a lot faster with a booking. 

We have had lots of interesting new bras and prostheses this year and they are proving quite popular with our ladies. I note on the news tonight that Germany is having a real upswing in the number of COVID cases so factories will be working with lower staff numbers for health reasons. We are starting to see some supply issues  already with some prostheses so if yours is worn or leaking, then don't delay coming in to see Helen or myself.

We have just produced an "info" AV for Breast Care nurses and for this we needed some updated images. Above and below you will see some of these. If you are a Breast Care Nurse or Doctor then please email me at debra@spiritoflifeboutiqie.com and I will make sure you get a copy. (Runs on PC or MAC)











Our delightful Helen.



And you are always welcome at Spirit of Life.




As I type this Mark has just reminded me that last month marks 17 years since I bought Spirit of Life from its Danish owners. And next year will be my 20th year of running the Boutique. I have met so many wonderful ladies and a lot of their supportive husbands during this period. It really has been a privilege to be able to serve them all. And now that I have Helen back with me (we used to work together at Simone Perelle) it is also just that little bit better. The ladies love Helen who has had breast cancer herself and she takes so much care to get a great outcome for them.



Till next time.. Debra.
