She received her Master of Arts in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling from Antioch University New England after completing her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Wayne State University.

Time

The support group is a great mix of women at different points in time since their initial diagnosis was received. It is a wonderful vehicle that helps a new survivor establish contact with other women as early as possible after ovarian cancer is diagnosed in order to reduce anxiety, fear, and isolation.
The group offers an opportunity to discuss concerns and possible misconceptions related to treatment in a safe, loving environment. The support group has become the missing link for many - the glue that joins mind, body, and spirit.
The special camaraderie that is shared helps survivors realize they are not alone in their battle against this disease. You can get information about new cancer treatments, receive encouragement from others, be inspired by the personal stories, laugh, and cry in a safe environment.
Please join us for our next One to One group meeting Thursday, Sept. 12 at 4 pm at GILDA’s CLUB, 3517 Rochester Road, Royal Oak (North of 13 Mile).

MBSR: Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Series
Time
10:00 AM
Paying attention to what’s happening inside you — thoughts, emotions, and body sensations — in the present moment can make all the difference. With awareness, you’ll learn new and intentional responses to situations, communications, and relationships with yourself and others. The automatic reactions that are not serving you will be replaced with new pathways, leading to greater emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
MBSR tools and techniques are accessible to all individuals, no matter the age and physical ability. Guided meditation, gentle movement and stretching, and small group discussion are experienced in each of the eight weekly classes. Facilitated by Jan Miller LPC, you will be supported in any way you need throughout your journey. Alumni are always welcome to attend as well!
