A gifted homeopath, watercolour artist and published author, Martine hardly ever looked in the mirror until she had to deal with the shock of her disfiguring surgery.  Then, after years without giving her looks a second thought, she was encouraged by her husband to model for Amoena – an uplifting experience that helped restore her belief in her own beauty.  After her mastectomy Martine refused all other therapies and used her homeopathic skills to help in her recovery.
