About Me
Like a lifeline, holistic healing has helped me transcend the terror of diagnosis and the pain of chronic illness. I have transformed fear and improved my health and quality of life tenfold.
Hello, my name is Lorika (pronounced like Lora and Erika combined). I’m a mom, wife, chemo-free cancer survivor, certified holistic health coach, certified regenerative detoxification specialist, certified personal coach, business owner, and lover of life and nature. Here’s my story in a nutshell.
I suffered from chronic disease and mystery symptoms for over twenty years before being diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Hearing I had cancer felt like a death sentence. The terror was blinding. I wished I had, someone who could help me navigate through the fear and darkness.
After diagnosis I was rushed into major surgery and prescribed chemotherapy. While there was a lot of pressure to do chemo I had a very strong feeling that if I agreed to it I wouldn't survive. After several weeks of research and despite multiple doctor's appointments where I was told chemo was the way to go, I decided against it.
For me saying no to chemo was one of the best decisions I made after diagnosis. The most important decision I made was pursuing a healing path based on mindset/beliefs, integrative nutrition, natural therapies, and other holistic approaches that address the multi-level nature of holistic healing.
I have always had an interest in various healing arts but getting diagnosed with cancer led me to embark on a healing quest that would connect the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of my experience, and create profound personal transformation.
My healing journey has led to a passion for helping others initiate their own healing path. Years of research and experimentation self-directing my chronic illness care and cancer recovery have equipped me with first-hand knowledge of a healing mindset, holistic approaches, integrative options and self-advocacy.
From my holistic approach to healing body, mind and spirit, I’ve developed 7 Principles designed for those recently diagnosed who want to take charge and accelerate recovery on their own terms.
I received my coaching certifications from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, International School of Detoxification, and CaPP Institute. I’ve studied various dietary theories, innovative personal coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques, regenerative cellular detoxification, mindset transformation, and positive psychology. I am also a reiki energy master.
As someone who knows the pain and overwhelm that comes with a cancer diagnosis and chronic illness, I understand your unique needs, and am here to inspire and support you.
I believe in your healing,
