Body Wisdom in Action

Did his Genius hide behind Cancer?

Text on orange background:

Charles* was screaming in pain when his mom picked him up from daycare at 9 months old. His belly was bloated like a balloon. They rushed him to the local University Clinic and were lucky enough to find a specialist who could diagnose him immediately with a very aggressive form of childhood kidney cancer. It affected one kidney that had to be removed immediately.

He recovered extremely well and at age 9 Charles* and his parents participated in cancer fundraising events. His favorite role was serving food to people and sharing his story if someone showed interest. He did this so well that he got several comments from restaurant owners: "When you are old enough, we will hire you here!"

Now at age 16, he started his first job as a server and loved it immediately. After 3 months, Charles* is already in charge to train other servers and loves that as well. He started a solid career in the customer service field with a bright future ahead. At the same time he ended several years of passivity, negativity and brain fog.

Charles* found what he is good at and loves to do - now his innate genius came on fire and has space to unfold!

I felt privileged that I could help him decode and activate his hidden brilliance. This fresh perspective changed his direction in life and his emotional health. For the first time Charles* loves who he is.

*not his real name
