Your Panelists: Sasha Pereira, Shahidah Suhaimy and Dr Cheryl Kam
Your Moderator: Scott Doughty
Sasha Pereira - Senior Staff Nurse
A pediatric oncology nurse for the past 8.5 years and currently working in the Paediatric Bone & Marrow Transplant Unit.
In 2014, she turned to yoga due to health reasons and soon found the practice to be her “happy pill” as yoga gave her a sense of re-calibrating body-mind-soul. She believes that the rhythm of the healthcare professional is to refill and pour out. Thus, she diligently makes time for her well-being as she continues to give selflessly to her patients. It’s her mission to create an awareness that one’s self-care practice is imperative, understanding that healthcare professionals give quality care when operating at one’s own peak wellness, in addition to thriving in adversity. In the last 6 months, Sasha has facilitated several self-care webinars for her colleagues as well as worked with Safe Space, a mental health platform, sharing a session on compassion fatigue.
Shahidah Suhaimy- Staff Nurse
A nurse since 2012, Shahidah switched careers to become a dive instructor and a marine conservationist in 2015. Early this year, she returned to the frontlines to support the nation’s effort in battling COVID-19.
As the number of cases in Singapore was steadily growing, the former nurse knew that at some point, the country would be in need of more nurses. She then took a decision to fly home and join in the battle.
