Julie's Healing Journey- Trauma, Cancer, Nervous System Regulation & Finding Personalized Care
What happens when cancer diagnoses, childhood trauma, and years of feeling unheard collide — and you finally find a team that sees the whole picture?
In episode 14, the KK and Jenny welcome Julie – a client of Into the Woods Wellness – to share her healing journey and what changed after finding the team at Into the Woods.
Julie describes a childhood in foster care, longstanding trauma, and feeling stuck, unheard, and boxed in by traditional medical care after a 2021 lymphoma diagnosis (treated with surgery and follow-ups, no chemo) and later melanoma, alongside insomnia, fatigue, and multiple medications. She explains how individualized, compassionate support at Into the Woods—high-dose vitamin C IV therapy, bloodwork, mindful yoga for nervous system regulation, and a parasite cleanse—helped her sleep, come off medications, and begin feeling safe and “more human.”
Through the personalized wellness program, she learned how inflammation-triggering foods, caffeine, sugar, gluten, and dairy affected her body, lost significant weight, and gained tools and accountability.
Julie hopes her story reaches others in dark places and shares there is more healing to come (including EMDR in time) as part of her healing journey.
