Cancer is Personal

This week we talk with Pauline Koinis, a medical intuitive who incorporates many different healing modalities into her work. Her forthcoming book, Cancer is Personal, tells the story of her cancer journey and how she forged her own path to wellness. 

Pauline is a force of nature. A “motorcycle mama,” as her kids call her, Pauline has faced two near-death experiences head-on. Rather than closing her eyes and wishing illness away, she believes in inviting it in as you would a guest in your home. When not writing, counseling, and speaking, Pauline enjoys traveling, singing, dancing, walking on the beach with her dog, Poe, and riding her motorcycle down long winding roads.
