'Whoever comes at my door I treat them like a family’': The secret of a successful nurse-preneur in Perth

According to Maila Teruel Hunter, a retired nurse turned entrepreneur, while it is relatively easy to find a job and earn money, no one could ever replace a parent. That's why when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, she gave up her career to take care of her. What impact has this decision had on her life now?

Key Points

• Back in 2005, Maila Hunter, a registered nurse, was relocated from London to Australia. She became a renal clinical specialist and was eventually promoted to Renal Health Centre Manager before retiring in 2021.
• At one point, she left her career to care for her ailing mother; now, she believes it made a huge positive impact on her life and business. Homeless individuals are now enjoying free meals daily at her cafe, as way of paying it forward.
• Baking is a hobby inherited from her late mother, which is why their favorite pastry, sansrival, became the namesake of their cafe, now with two branches in Perth.
