EP 252 How One Woman Activated Her Innate Healing Power to Overcome the Odds of a Terminal Illness | Ania Volovique
Ania Volovique is a self-proclaimed queen of personal reinvention. A move across the world at the age of 10 led her on a lifelong search for a sense of belonging.
Through many years of personal development, reinvention and looking within, Ania found what she was seeking….only it came in the form of brain cancer.
Recognizing the undeniable link between the mind and body, Ania firmly believes in the accessibility of this power to everyone. That is precisely why she developed her life-changing program, appropriately named "REBIRTH", which serves as a catalyst for profound transformation.
Ania Volovique is a Somatic Coach, Master NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) and Mental and Emotional Release Practitioner.
But beyond these titles, Ania is deeply devoted to her own spiritual growth and using her experience and personal healing journey to guide women on their transformative paths of self-discovery - especially during significant transitions like birth, death and rebirth.
