Hello,
​
This is Lotti the 8th.
​
Well, actually it's me WITH Lotti the 8th.
​
I have given this name to my tumour in my right breast, which was diagnosed in January 2023.
​
PURA well-being was closed from February to May. I completely concentrated on the therapy and on my healing process.
​
With Lotti the 8th, I was one of about 400 women and men diagnosed with breast cancer in Luxembourg every year.
Despite the cancer diagnosis, I never felt sick. I had much more the feeling that Lotti the 8th wanted to tell me something. Is there an imbalance in my current lifestyle? Are there physical blockages in me?
​
Many questions popped up during the time of the treatment and I got involved with these questions. Did my trainings and ayurvedic nutricion help me to go through this time? I think so.
​
There was a time when I thought a lot and had worries, tears were running: I let it happen. You just don't perceive such a diagnosis like a flu that will disappear at some point. Cancer changes your life.
​
I have been given a new life. Michaela 2.0.
​
I would like to encourage women and men with breast cancer (current or past) to listen to your body feeling, your gut feeling. During my treatment period I longed for massages. After the surgery scars healed well, nothing stopped me from massages.
​
They can give you so much: A sense of well-being at a time when you often don't feel at ease. Calmness, for the body, but also for the head and the thoughts. Touch is so important for your mood. Believe me, it will get better. And even if your body has changed through the treatments: You can give it touch. Your sleep will be better after a massage and it can reduce fatigue.
​
You can allow yourself to think not only about your illness. But also simply about you and your superpower within you. I trust conventional medicine, but I am convinced that healing is within each of us. I firmly believe in that.
I am happy if my words have whetted your appetite for a massage and you are welcome to join me!
​
Trust yourself and your body!
All the best,
​
Michaela
PS: Together with 'FrauMamma' I am planning a Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat for breast cancer women in March 2024 at Hessemillen in Luxembourg. More info soon! Would you like to meet FrauMamma, please click here
