About Holistic Healing Within

A few of you may know that a few weeks after my last professional hockey game I was diagnosed with metastatic testicular cancer that consisted of 50+ abdominal tumors, cancerous spores in my lungs, and a football sized tumor on my neck. I was in the worst condition of my life. I NEVER ever thought that being diagnosed with an illness like cancer while being a professional athlete was possible. I didn’t know how I ended up in this horrific situation and I didn’t know what to do. I WAS LOST! I was taking laxatives for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and a fatal dosage amount of morphine (120mg) and oxycodone (80mg) every day. I was in the worst amount of pain I’ve ever been in my entire life and I was codependent on pharmaceuticals. The tumors were growing larger everyday and the pain was making me have full body convulsions that replicated seizures. It wasn’t until I had zero control of my body I succumbed to chemotherapy. This drug instantly started killing me from the inside out but it was able to reduce the size of the tumors. I lost 56 pounds in 2 months! I couldn’t walk, talk, think for myself, or remember things from the previous day. The path that I was on was scary and I knew that I was not in control. There were times that I almost died if I didn’t have blood transfusions. I was weak, depressed, cold, and dying slowly. I knew that something had to change. 

If I were to do it all over again I would’ve not taken pharmaceutical pain killers and overloaded my liver. Even though cancer was still present throughout my entire body I made the decision to stop doing chemotherapy. I knew intuitively that chemo wasn’t the right thing to do. I transitioned slowly to hydro colonics, coffee enemas, high dose vitamin C, ozone therapy, hot and cold therapy, and breath-work. This holistic approach gave me the motivation and will to live. After my first few treatments I started to believe that I was going to be okay. I felt like I was in control of my life again and I am so grateful to inspire others to live!

My journey with holistic healing began with a profound loss—the passing of my mother, who was battling cancer. She faced the harsh reality of conventional treatments' side effects, that caused her system to back up, ultimately contributing to her passing. It was a poignant reminder of the limitations of traditional approaches and the urgent need for accessible alternatives. 

In the aftermath, I was engulfed by anger and despair, living in a dark place that led me to self-destructive habits, including excessive drinking. However, a turning point emerged after the pandemic, on the anniversary of my mother's passing, when I jokingly visited a Reiki psychic healer with my aunt. What started as skepticism and a joke turned into a life-changing experience.

From that moment, I embarked on a journey of profound transformation. I made bold decisions, leaving a job that didn't align with my newfound beliefs and finding employment where holistic healing was not just supported but actively encouraged. I began regular sessions with a Reiki healer, delved into workshops, seminars, and networking events centered on personal development and holistic health, and even explored a guided journey with plant medicine.

This holistic journey became my beacon out of darkness. I shed self-destructive habits, addressed deep-rooted traumas, and cultivated a positive mindset—without relying on antidepressants or anxiety medications. Through holistic practices, I've not only started healing, I have also evolved into a stronger, more resilient woman, not just for myself but also for those around me. 

In honor of my mother's memory, I am dedicated to making holistic healing options financially accessible to all. Holistic healing offers a holistic approach that addresses not just physical ailments but also mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By making these options accessible, we empower individuals to explore other healing modalities that honor the mind, body, and soul. Together, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive through holistic wellness practices.
