Vicki Stanford

Personal wellbeing and family experience contributor

Vicki Stanford is a wife, mother and grandmother whose biography in Fast Forward to Success places her in South Australia's Adelaide Hills. Her interests include singing, writing, growing an edible garden and spending time with people.

My Health Journey Begins recounts a frightening experience during a business meeting and the questions that followed. Vicki describes spending more than ten years learning about personal wellbeing through her own health experiences.

Her chapter connects that process with a broader image of a winding journey. Travel with her family, conversations and the willingness to consider one stage at a time become ways to reflect on uncertainty and changing priorities.

Vicki presents her experience through Christian faith and an interest in natural wellbeing. The contribution explains what led her to write and share resources with other women. It remains an individual account, rather than evidence that a particular alternative approach replaces medical care or produces the same result for another person.
