About Colleen

We all have a story, and here is mine. Looking back now as a "60-something" year old, I can say that my life took a radical turn at the tender age of 33. I was suddenly faced with a life-changing diagnosis — cancer of the tongue — which "forced" me to confront overwhelming thoughts about my current life situation and my mortality.
I partnered with my health team at Sloan Kettering and received wonderful care. However, once I was home, I knew there was deeper healing I needed to undertake. This inner knowing led me to a healer, a caring psychologist who encouraged me to express my feelings. Through therapy, I found ways to cope with my life.
Around this time, I was invited by a couple from my church to a “healing circle.” During that gathering, I was brought to the center of the circle, where people began to chant and pray aloud for me. Suffice it to say that what followed in that circle was a mystical, powerful, and unexplainable miracle. I left that meeting with the certainty that a suspicious tumor on another part of my tongue — observed monthly by my surgeon — was in fact gone. That was the message I received from Spirit that night: *Your cancer is gone, never to return.*
Four months later, after signing consent for radical surgery to remove the tumor, my surgeon performed a minor excision and found no evidence of cancer. The pathology confirmed what Spirit told me that night in the circle. For some unexplainable reason, I was the recipient of spontaneous healing. As of this writing, I am celebrating three decades of living in a body cancer-free!
My spontaneous healing became a catalyst for me to learn more about the mind-body-spirit connection. Over the past three decades, I have immersed myself in studying extensively with masters of wisdom. I have traveled to holy places, met healers, attended workshops, and completed several certification programs. Along the way, I built a self-care toolbox that helps me quiet my mind and maintain peace. These tools work for me, and I know they will work for you too!
When I am not spending time with my family, you will find me in my other roles as a meditation teacher, grief coach, life coach, hospice volunteer, facilitator of a mindfulness and support group for individuals coping with a cancer diagnosis, Reiki practitioner, and a Mondays Cancer Care volunteer. I engage with clients one-on-one, in group settings, and through virtual and on-location workshops. My clients come from all walks of life and all ages, and everyone is invited to participate, regardless of financial means.
I invite you to journey with me and share your story. I am so looking forward to connecting with you.
