Healing through Exuberance

Through my struggle with chemo, a surprising passion evolved as I found ways to cope with the symptoms and losses associated with the treatment. I discovered a new look which incorporates hats and earrings in a way that brings me great joy. As I radiate this joy, the world reflects it back to me. I’m healing, having fun and I am “sassy with cancer”. Let the hat show begin!

The Luxury of Boredom

This video documents “one week in the life of Laura.” It’s a small window into the mind-blowing daily challenges that were packed into one week. The video is informative, dealing with many cancer-related issues, but also light hearted and humorous as I celebrate, once again, the reclaiming of my personal power and my capacity to heal.

From Helpless to Empowered

This video explores the tools I use to manage pain and continue healing in my body.  There are six segments in this video:

1) Symptom Management through Medication

2) Salt Baths and Hot Water Bottles

3) Self-Massage

4) Movement—yoga and “impulse movement”

5) Rebounding

6) The BEMER

I use these tools to help move my body from stagnation to circulation. This process begins with a psychological shift—from helplessness to empowerment.  This psychological shift must take place in order for the physical body to begin to shift.
