When 33-year-old Carly got the news she had thyroid cancer, her immediate response was anything but defeat. “This will not be the story that I tell,” she declared. “I will be here to tell a story of victory.”
In that moment, Carly made a bold choice to focus entirely on healing not sickness. As a mother to a young son, she felt a “mama bear fierce energy” to do whatever it took to survive and thrive.
Though Carly had worked as a holistic health coach for years, her cancer diagnosis propelled her into a whole new level of integrative care. She discovered a hidden infection in her mouth, caused by old dental work, likely the root cause of her cancer. Clearing this infection became priority number one. Intensive holistic dental surgeries, IV therapies, alkaline diets, and energy healing sessions helped her realize the deep mind-body connections behind her illness.
Carly also attended the Hope4Cancer clinic, which offered three-week “cellular detox” programs. These treatments, combined with emotional release, prayer, and journaling, reduced her cancer by 80%. Eventually, she chose to have a full thyroidectomy. But because she had already transformed her body’s internal terrain, she bounced back remarkably well and was deemed cancer-free.
Throughout her journey, Carly credits personal development work and plant medicine ceremonies for helping her reframe her mindset around illness. “When the student is ready, the teacher appears,” she says, reflecting on how openness led her to the answers she needed.
Now, she’s paying it forward by hosting Sacred Self-Care women’s wellness retreats, integrating mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.
“We all deserve health and vitality,” Carly reminds us. “You are worthy of your healing.” Whether it’s drinking more water, eating organic, or exploring new therapies. We all carry the power to transform. Carly’s story is proof that devastating news can become an opportunity for growth, awareness, and service to others, and that same potential lives within each of us.
