A study published in The Breast journal demonstrated
that patients who practiced guided imagery and
visualization showed significant improvements in
immune markers. Their T-cells and natural killer cells,
key to fighting cancer, were more active compared to
those who didn’t visualize.
In other words, what we believe and emotionally
experience can directly influence our biology.
I also incorporated spiritual and sensory practices into
my healing. I slept while listening to Greek Byzantine
chants, trusting that the vibration of ancient prayer
would calm and nourish my subconscious mind.
I meditated daily, allowing my brain to shift into
alpha and theta states where deeper healing and
reprogramming occur.
There were moments in meditation where time
disappeared. My body would soften, and I’d feel
suspended in warmth and light. In those moments, I
wasn’t a woman with cancer. I was a woman coming
home to herself.
The Mind as a Portal
As Dr. Joe Dispenza teaches, when we align thought with
elevated emotion, we create a new personal reality. The
brain becomes a tool for transformation, and the body
responds as if the future we envision is already real.
In those deep states of awareness, I began to live not
from my current circumstances, but from the future I
was consciously choosing to create.
As I continued this mental and emotional practice, a
new life began to unfold. I started a business from my
bedroom with only a laptop and a vision. That business
grew into a platform that helps others transform. I
wrote a book. I attracted true love and remarried.
I also created fully funded retreats for breast cancer
survivors. These are spaces of deep healing, clarity,
and connection. They give women what I wish I had:
a supportive container to shift their inner world and
reclaim their power.
Our next retreat is in Greece, a place rich in personal
and cultural meaning.
This Is More Than Recovery
The life I live today is not a return to who I was before
cancer. It is a complete reinvention born from deep
inner work. My breakdown became my breakthrough.
My pain became my purpose.
When you change your thoughts and emotions
consistently enough, your brain rewires, your body
recalibrates, and your external life begins to reflect
the internal shift.
This is not wishful thinking. It is intentional
transformation.
How to Begin Your Own
The greatest gift of this journey is knowing that what
happened for me is possible for anyone.
