About Yvonne
"Yvonne Heath is a beacon - a shining light - in a world that needs to take matters to do with
death and bring them out of the closet. When we can truly love our lives to death, then we,
our families and our friends become empowered. You go girl!"
Peter Jennings, TV Host, Speaker and author of Shark Assault
Yvonne is a wife and mother to three amazing children and has been a registered nurse since 1988.
She has worked in ten different hospitals, in most departments from emergency and intensive care to chemotherapy, palliative care and hospice.
In her nursing career, she witnessed our grief phobic society, and how our reluctance to talk about, plan and prepare for grief, death and dying causes excessive suffering personally,
professionally in life, and at the end of life.
It’s time for change! Yvonne is helping to create this culture of change through speaking, online programs, her award winning book, workshops, radio, television and sharing the
#IJustShowedUp Movement.
When we learn to talk about and plan for grief and life's challenges something amazing happens. We live more fully and we suffer less at the end of our life. Our loved ones and workplaces suffer less and are able to move through their grief.
