In 2019, Alessia was diagnosed with a 5cm trophoblastic tumor in her uterus.  She had already begun doing Dr Joe's work -- reading his books, attending retreats and practicing meditations -- but as soon as she got the diagnosis she became more committed to daily meditations, and to the challenging work of "finding herself."  At the May 2021 Cuixmala Retreat, Alessia shares the story of her healing journey.
