TESTIMONIALS
“I am not only Director of the Board of The Foundation For Living Beauty, I am also a Living Beauty myself. Living Beauty is an organization that I have seen transform lives including my own. Through educational workshops, sisterhood events, wellness retreats and so much more, our women are able to thrive and truly take a hold of their lives and their cancer journeys. Women feel empowered and uplifted through these events and the relationships with the other women in the organization.”
“I came to the Foundation for Living Beauty after my primary treatments for Breast Cancer, but was still having mobility and strength issues. The gifts I have received from this amazing organization are many – starting with the wonderful friendships I’ve made with other women who are fighting for their lives against all manners of cancer. There is something truly spiritual about getting together with this group of beautiful women, whether it’s to practice yoga, share a meal and a laugh, or to cry together when one of our sisters has fallen. I am so incredibly lucky to have been introduced to these women.”
“The Foundation for Living Beauty has given me solid information and direction to strengthen my spirit and get me through some of the darkest days of my journey. Living Beauty brings women together to share experiences that many other people cannot understand.”
“I really deeply appreciate all that you do for me and the other women. This organization has helped me in so many positive ways. I love how challenging some of the deeper topics are (inner child work, trauma related topics, ScArt, etc) & I really benefit from hearing others’ stories & struggles.”
“I have been surviving stage 4 cancer for four years and Living Beauty has been an integral part of my healing process throughout. The Foundation’s many valuable programs have taught me that surviving cancer goes beyond just going through chemotherapy to heal my body. It is also about healing my mind and soul.”
“For me, Living Beauty has changed my outlook on life beyond breast cancer treatment… This Living Beauty retreat was so uplifting and healing to my mind, body, and spirit that I feel hope in what is often a hopeless situation…I am renewed and ready to hope and try to fly again.”
“Words cannot describe how overwhelmed I am with thankfulness to the Foundation for Living Beauty. My life was a blur emotionally regarding how I felt about myself after being diagnosed with breast cancer, completing chemotherapy and radiation. I was reborn at the Heart Healing Retreat. I experienced so much love, compassion and more love. I am forever changed. Amie, thank you for sharing the love you have for your mother to women in need. I am forever changed and will continuously praise you, your amazing team and the Foundation for Living Beauty always.”
“As a survivor of 17 years, I have had the pleasure of being supported by many, many, organizations. FFLB is one of the most nurturing groups that I have met. Everything that the organization represents comes from the Founder, Amie Petersen, down to the team. They have listened to women with cancer and those moving beyond cancer to provide fellowship through multiple channels such as their incredible rejuvenating retreats to their parties. Thank you all. You are all class!”
“The retreat was everything I expected and MORE. In this part of my healing (still in the process of reconstruction) I really need to be in the company of positive women who UNDERSTAND the frustrations but don’t have to talk about it. Every moment of the Living Beauty Foundation’s retreat was a gift that will keep giving in my day-to-day life.”
