Help Support Coraline at Senso Through Her Cancer Journey

Meadowbank, Auckland

Coraline, our much-loved hairdresser at Senso Meadowbank, recently received devastating, unexpected news: she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. In just two weeks, she faces surgery, followed by a challenging 12-month journey of chemotherapy and radiation.

Those who know Coraline know her kindness, her radiant smile that lights up the salon, and her incredible talent with hair. Senso Meadowbank is more than a salon to her, it’s the dream she has poured her heart into for the past two years, carefully building a loyal clientele and a welcoming space for our community.

Coraline is also a devoted mum to four beautiful daughters, ages 3 to 14. While she focuses on her health and family, this fund will help keep her treasured salon running and provide essential support for her and her girls.

Our community is strong and caring. Let’s rally around Coraline and show her that she’s not alone. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference. 💗

Coraline has not requested we do this, but has accepted the offer to do it on her behalf.

All funds will be deposited directly from Givealittle to Coraline directly.

Use of funds

Funds to help keep the salon running, funds to help with childcare and school fees, anything she and her husband needs on one income and to keep her treasured Senso afloat.

Update on Coraline 4 February 2026

Here’s a quick update on Coraline.

She’s now halfway through her final round of chemotherapy and has come through the hardest part, which is a big milestone. She’ll be having a scan in April, followed by a short break from treatment before starting radiation in May, which will run daily for around three weeks.

From April, Coraline will also begin hormone therapy medication, which she’ll be on for approximately seven years, alongside continuing her monthly hormone therapy injections for the next five years.

She’s understandably feeling quite tired, both emotionally and physically, but hypnotherapy with her psychologist has been helping her a great deal. She’s very much looking forward to getting through the remainder of treatment and moving on from this phase.

Thank you all for keeping Coraline in your thoughts and for the love and support you continue to show her, it truly means so much to her.

Check her out in the recent Women's Day magazine! You can read more of her story in the magazine that is out now. Still as gorgeous as ever.
