I have been receiving treatments at the Collective Healing Center (CHC) since January 2018. My introduction to the CHC originated in June of 2017 in Magnolia where the Ayurveda Wellness Center offered a workshop on Tong Ren. Noel presented a most interesting demonstration of one of the components of the Tom Tam Healing System, known as Tong Ren. Without excessive detail I can tell you that my interaction with Noel that evening set the wheels in motion for a dramatic change in my overall health...

My health started to decline about two years ago with no diagnosis except for my existing diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). After losing a lot of weight and suffering from shortness of breath for an extended period of time, they finally decided to take my concerns seriously. They biopsied a large lymph node on my neck and diagnosed me with large B-cell lymphoma this past October 2018.

Although I was petrified, I started chemotherapy at the end of November. My first pet scan showed I was filled with cancer throughout my torso. I told Monica about the diagnosis and I started seeing her more consistently. I had chemo every three weeks and got pneumonia twice, which allowed me to get a break from chemo while Monica continued to work on me with Tong Ren, massage, and the laser and whatever other gadget she could try to assist in my healing.
