Sarah’s approach draws on nature­-based spirituality, sacred sciences, and the richness of the human soul. She designs and facilitates ceremonies that help her clients to integrate experiences of death, loss, and transformation.

002 | Healing holistically from Invasive ductal carcinoma with former nurse, Jackie

002 | Healing holistically from Invasive ductal carcinoma with former nurse, Jackie

In this episode of "What's With Cancer", Jackie, a healthy, active, retired nurse, discovered a lump in her right breast May of 2018. After 5 months of being misdiagnosed and begging someone to do a biopsy, she found out she had invasive ductal carcinoma.

The moment she found out, she knew she’d take the holistic approach that is taught in Chris Wark program, “SQUARE ONE”
https://sq1.chrisbeatcancer.com/module1b

Although her cancer recurred and had spread after the first year, she had no support and her family had pleaded to take conventional treatment, she stood her ground with saying no and sticking with natural remedies.

Jackie is now cancer free and healthier than ever!

We talk about support, diet, what to do, what not to do, how to forgive and how to trust the process.
