Best-Selling AUTHOR
E.A.T. An Unconventional Decade In The Life Of A Cancer Patient is a best-selling memoir in journal format written from the 18 journals Kathy kept during her 10-year recovery from inflammatory breast cancer and a high-grade head and neck cancer. It is a painfully honest example as to why our medical system must do better.
Despite taking advantage of what conventional medicine offered, Kathy’s body was failing, leaving her to live half dead each and every day while trying to raise two small children and take care of a barn full of animals. As she tallied the limitations of medical protocols, Kathy chose to accept the challenge cancer had offered her and discovered she had exactly what it took to change her life and thrive cancer free. This is a manual of hope for anyone confronting serious illness or simply looking for a more proactive approach to wellness.
Don’t be fooled by the title. In addition to learning how to eat with the intention to heal her body, she did so much more to heal. She stresses that it was incredible to realize that staying cancer free is simple, attainable and therefore, sustainable.

INTEGRATIVE HEALTH COACH
Integrative healing is all about achieving optimal health through the balancing of your mind, body in line with your soul, using a variety of therapies and modalities. Adding a qualified integrative health coach to your team can lead to managing stress in a healthy way while incorporating lifestyle changes unique to your needs. To prevent chronic disease, improve disease outcomes, or prevent recurrence most of us have absolutely no idea how to turn the information swimming around on the internet into action using an evidence-based approach. That’s why Kathy’s program Heal Just For Today is so effective.
Heal Just For Today provides simple, attainable, sustainable tools designed to help you become a powerful self-advocate. Some call it holistic healing. Some call it alternative healing. Kathy calls it intentional healing that only requires your attention just for today. In addition, she offers consultations that address your specific questions and assistance planning for meetings with doctors and other members of your team because integrative healing does not exclude your medical practitioners.
Heal Just For Today is tailor made for you and your lifestyle, starting with learning to eat with the intention to heal. If you think you know how to use food as medicine, you might find that Kathy’s coaching dispels some pervasive myths and provides a framework for effective evidence based results. From there you’ll move to learning how to release and manage disease promoting stress. Finally, Kathy will teach you how to easily access your innate healing abilities for a complete healing. This is often the most surprising and life changing part of the program.
From Kathy’s point of view, having healed from two rare and aggressive cancers using this same approach, the difficult part is deciding if you’re all in just for today. Because if you’re not all in, you’re not in at all.

Kathy discovered the power of Reiki in 2006 during her battle with head and neck cancer. Unsure of what it even was, she started sessions with a Reiki master and surprised even her doctors with the obvious lack of side-effects from radiation therapy to her head, neck and mouth. Today, Kathy is a Western Reiki master teacher and Jikiden Reiki practitioner who enjoys sharing it with others. She relishes the honor of being a part of your healing process.
