Life tends to keep us in a constant state of craziness. At any unforeseen moment, many of us are faced with illness. The world keeps moving at an unstoppable pace. Yet, we are left standing alone facing unknown health outcomes. So… how does one find emotional healing? How do we nurture ourselves?

Take time to reflect who you really are as a person. What is it that you would really like to accomplish during your lifetime? What would make you feel happy if there were no perceived barriers to accomplishing this? Learn to listen to your intuition when it comes to what personally makes you feel hopeful and nurtured. You are the only one that truly knows what is needed to accomplish this. Lastly, being open to accepting random acts of kindness from others can provide a sense of support when life seems overwhelming.

Sharing ones humanity can be healing to everyone involved.

“Cancer is not just a medical challenge. Survivorship needs involve the entire span of a patient’s physical, emotional, social and financial experience–all of which bear great influence on healing and quality of life. Doctors can and should broaden their view of this disease and form or affiliate with multidisciplinary practices or clinics that can offer a comprehensive approach to survivorship care.”

“The ironic timing of my cancer diagnosis was that I was finishing physical therapy school when I was diagnosed. I had to do scar tissue management on myself and had to rebuild my body on my own, because I was never offered rehab services. Now, as a survivor and a PT who works with cancer survivors, I know how important it is to have cancer rehab as part of a patient’s plan of care. If we want to optimize a survivor’s quality of life and ability to return to life, cancer rehab has to be a part of the plan.”

I am part of a cancer survivors’ ministry. In my many years of ministering I find that there are five things that can hinder one’s health and wholeness. They are: (1) Stress; (2) Unhealthy eating habits; (3) Doubt and Unbelief; (4) Surrounding one’s self with folks who mean well but are negative; and, (5) Having no faith.

Prior to my diagnosis with breast cancer I had been under tremendous stress. I lost my best friend, my son, and my mother in the same year. Look in the mirror daily and tell yourself, “I am healed”! I have been cancer free for nearly twenty years and am doing the work that God has called me to do. Know this — You are the healed!

I’m a Harvard doctor, cancer survivor and Mom.

I’ve taken my own journey through the “healing zone,” perfecting healing techniques as I worked to speed my recovery.

Now, through clinical programs that I have developed for hospitals, working with patients, publishing books, writing medical articles and health blogs, and this site, I’m on a mission to help you heal—no matter what challenge you’re facing.

To the journey ahead,
