In 1972 after surgery for cancer my prognosis was dire. But, one of my physicians gave me a small pamphlet which was
printed in French about guided imagery. He scribbled the English translation for me. He said simply, "There is hope!"
I clung to that and began a journey of discovery and change.
Each day I played the guided imagery scenes in my mind and accepted them as real. One imagery that I saw was of my children
as adults. They were then 2, 3 and 6. I knew in my heart and mind that I would see them grow up. Nothing less was acceptable.
I never doubted it. That vision came to life 16 years later at my daughter's wedding!
Another imagery was of two characters who oddly enough looked like the characters we now know as the M&M guys. It
was a Western. One had a black hat (the bad guy) and one a white hat (the good guy). They walked down Main Street for
a showdown. Then, the "white hat", who was always victorious, threw the bad guy in to a mine trough to wash away.
My cancer reponded, the bad cells died and were flushed from my system. I healed.
Over the years I have worked with many Cancer patients. Now, this approach and hypnosis are being further supported in
studies for cancer patients. The advocates include Dr, Bernie Siegel, Dr. Andrew Weil as well as many others.
Hypnosis before surgery and treatment will support your healing and recovery. It can make an important shift in
your mind. Group support can ease the emotional clutch of Cancer as well as the isolation many experience. It is so hard to
express what you feel to loved ones. Being able to talk it out with others offers tremendous benefits. The bonding and sharing
a laugh can help.
I founded the first non-profit organization for cancer support in Texas here in Austin, the Phoenix Canacer Support Community.
My training includes ECaP (Dr. Bernie Siegel's Exceptional Cancer Patients), the Austin Center for Attitudinal Healing, Heartsong
Hypnotherapy, Unlimited Possibilities Hypnosis and as a NLP practitioner. I have facilitated groups and done individual counseling/coaching.What
I do is intuitive, spiritually based and comes from my heart. I understand, I have been there, too. Let me help you in
your healing.
