Background & History
The Cancer & Natural Therapy Foundation is a registered
charity organization based in Sunbury, Victoria, run by a team of
committed and dedicated volunteers. It was established as a
non-profit organization in 1993, shortly after Sandra Maqueda’s 4
year old son’s remarkable recovery from cancer using natural
therapies. (Read Sandra & Daniel’s story). Daniel, now 23 years
of age is a living testimony to natural therapies, and enjoys a
full active life.
As a result of Daniel’s recovery, Sandra who is a qualified
Social Worker formed a group following media attention and national
publicity. Over the years what started as a small informal group,
has rapidly grown into an organization that now offers a wide range
of services:
Health Awareness Support Group (operating twice weekly)
Documentary Film Viewing and Discussion
Professional counselling service
Access to library resources
Information and Referral Service
Quarterly newsletter
Reiki Healing & Home Visiting
Guest Speaker Program
Health SeminarsSelf-Help Workshops
Group therapy
Ifas treatment
Ear Candling
The Foundation is committed to raising public awareness of ‘natural
health options’ available to individuals to enable them to make
‘informed choices’, and therefore, empower them to become
‘pro-active’ in their healing. Our services are not limited to
people with cancer, and extend to anyone interested in taking a
active role in their health and well-being.
As a holistic organization, we seek to provide an understanding
of ‘health and well-being’ from a physical, mental, and emotional
perspective incorporating also environmental factors that impinge
on health.
