The context

Scared patients routinely need support to get through their procedures without lasting negative effect, as it is easy for them to become scared and anticipate pain and discomfort during their visits.

The action

Amanda routinely goes the extra mile to comfort and distract scared patients. Whether its a reassuring cuddle, or a song sung to them, she is there with positivity. This is despite her own health struggles and family difficulties which could see many become despondent.

The ripple effect

Amanda brings joy to her colleagues as well as comforting her patients. The animals in her care receive love and have their stress lessened, and the staff working with her feel the radiance of her positivity and warmth. She inspires others to join in her practices, and engages us with her singsongs.
