About this Site
Living Life Over Cancer was a result of being diagnosed with recurrent stage four breast cancer. As both an educator and someone experiencing cancer firsthand, I am passionate about sharing my experiences and knowledge with others. I am practicing integrative medicine in support of my health and well-being. I have been fortunate to have received two updates since my August 2023 diagnosis indicating that I have no evidence of cancer, no progression, am free of adverse side effects and maintain optimal health.
Through this site, I offer guidance and support on how to prioritize your health through simple and sustainable changes. Whether you’re a cancer patient, survivor, or simply someone looking to improve your health, I hope you find comfort and inspiration in my journey to live life over cancer.

As a yoga and mindfulness instructor, I understand the importance of living in the present moment.
