"In 2009 I was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer this devastating diagnosis was crushing and began my search for a way to improve my quality of life living with cancer and the toxic treatments that go along with it.
I began with Meditation Practice and Amma Massage unfortunately the fatigue the treatments cause is at times debilitating so I started attending Restorative Yoga workshops and classes locally in an effort to combat some of the effects of treatment these restorative practices did help, at the same time I signed up for various breast cancer blogs and newsletters, then the email came from Angela informing me that Breast Cancer Yoga would be available at the Jewel in the Lotus, I was so excited to start the series of restorative practices targeted for Breast Cancer Patients and Survivors.
I have been attending these practices with Angela, Paula and Samantha at the Jewel in the Lotus Studio for several weeks now and the results have been amazing the fatigue from treatment is much more manageable the chemo hangover is almost nonexistent and my energy level although not back to pre cancer days it is pretty close some days.
I am so grateful for the opportunity and that email from Angela to have these restorative practices available to me and the loving care I feel from everyone at the Jewel in the Lotus and now consider these practices an essential part of my treatment plan, I have been spreading the word at my oncologists office and infusion center about these practices in an effort to help other Breast Cancer Patients and Survivors.
God Bless You."
