Bouncing Back After Cancer

Course Description:

This ‘aligned heart led living’ course is for anyone who has been through a cancer experience. The term BOUNCING BACK refers to our ability to quickly return to a calm connected resilient state of restorative healing.

However my own personal experience taught me that the aftermath of a cancer journey can be a strange and lonely place as we are cut loose from what became a familiar support system of care and kindness. We find ourselves back in the real world confused about moving forward alone and adjusting to the challenges of a different normal – and unfortunately there is no real specialized support available to guide us out of our post cancer survival mode.

The emotional rollercoaster is aptly named taking us through the highs and lows of an enormously challenging and frightening journey.

When it’s over many of us feel lost and unsure of how to resume ‘normal’ life

You may feel a loss of self confidence, there’s definitely a sense of loss of health, feelings of anxiety and fear of recurrence can keep us stuck in an unhealthy cycle – it’s exhausting and impacts us emotionally and physically – many of us even feel a sense of guilt and none of this is a load we should carry.

Unresolved emotional upset, specifically when it’s completely out of our control, can impact our quality of life in so many ways but there’s much we can learn to become more aware that we are SO MUCH MORE than a physical body. Everything has been focused on physical health and we can become conditioned to identifying our very being with our body’s DIS-EASE. You are not what happened to your body – YOU are not just your body!

I could not just bounce back into my life after my cancer as if nothing had happened – and following an additional 3 years of study in emotional trauma I am now acutely aware that few of us actually know how to leverage our true powers as human beings. We have much to learn about living whole and centered, allowing our cancer experience to become the catalyst for living the happiest life possible.

This is not a course about cancer. It’s about the opportunity we have to be all the potential and possibility we are made for.  It’s about acknowledging that very fact to surrender to personal growth, inspiration, embracing all elements and aspects of the amazing being that is a human, turning fear into freedom and fulfillment – this is a course about empowerment…. It’s not about loss, it’s realignment – and the best part is it’s actually simple – when you learn how, and I will be sharing all you need to know.
