Learning to Receive: Slowing Down with Karla Mans-Giroux

Karla Mans-Giroux is a holistic cancer coach, inspirational speaker, workshop facilitator, and cancer thriver. Karla works with other cancer thrivers to approach health with the whole person in mind. She knows that healing requires working with the body, mind, and spirit.

In addition to developing food and exercise plans, Karla’s coaching can include topics as diverse as news consumption, social media, stress management, and deepening your spiritual practice.

For our regular listeners, it will come as no surprise that Karla is a big fan of Dr. Kelly Turner’s works Radical Remission and Radical Hope.

One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was the idea that you can use your intuition as a foundation for working with the other nine healing factors. If we strengthen our intuition we can turn to it for guidance whenever we need help making decisions about our healing.

On a related note, we have an intuition workshop coming up this June, so keep an eye out for an email with details about that.
