- There’s a good chance you or someone you love will be faced with a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. Join wellness expert, Kelsey Carignan as she shares a total gamechanger when it comes to dealing with hair loss as a side effect of chemotherapy. It might not be for everyone but knowing it’s an option is changing how people experience cancer treatment all over the world. Kelsey Carignan is a mindfulness practitioner and yoga instructor. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and went on to work as a Mental Health Counselor. Kelsey completed her 200RYT Yoga Certification in 2015 and continues her yoga journey as both a student and a teacher.
Kelsey’s life took a dramatic shift when she was diagnosed with Stage III Breast Cancer in late 2018. She went through a bilateral mastectomy, 8 rounds of chemotherapy and 25 rounds of radiation all before her 34th birthday. Since then, Kelsey has shared her journey and her experience, uniting others through a virtual community called Vibrant Yogi. The community meets for LIVE online classes and infuses kindness into the communities through various initiatives. Kelsey’s personal favourite is lending out Cold Caps to chemotherapy patients, helping many keep their hair during treatment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Anything that is out there that can have such a positive and LIFE AFFIRMING IMPACT at such a vulnerable time should be publicized, celebrated, and embraced. What a fantastic thing to have that choice, that option. Everyone needs to know about this! Thank you Kelsey!
Thank you for sharing! Cancer is scary and the thought of losing you is even worse. Cold capping allowed me to keep some of my hair and feel human after dealing with surgery and chemo (with radiation that followed). Thank you for your strength in sharing your journey.
Incredible strength sharing your journey, Kels! This is such a powerful message to share with all of those impacted by Cancer and it’s amazing to help educate more people on the process of Cold Capping. I’m so proud of you and so lucky I have you as my Sister. Well done! We love you so much! ♥️
Thank you Kelsey for sharing, you are such an inspiration, to many and so very positive. You can help so many and some you may not realize you helped. Thank you for sharing , Cancer is scary it can be beat.❤Stay Strong
Kelsey - so powerful!! Thank you for sharing your journey…that will help and inspire so many 💕
Beautiful talk Kelsey! You are an inspiration!
What a beautiful message, Kelsey! I love how the choice can put you in the driver's seat and give one power! That is powerful! And how wonderful to raise funds to donate cold-capping. I hope cold-capping will become more available through insurance, as I agree it can transform how you see yourself, and if you see yourself as healthy, that can improve your quality of life, which can improve your outcome. I'd be honored if you watched my TEDx talk How Pac-Man Can Conquer Cancer, TEDxLihue, Elisa Audo-Beliov, and tell me what you think in my comments! Sending love
Smashed it! What a powerful story Kelsey!
Powerful presentation Kelsey! I had never heard of cold caps before and I can understand how keeping your hair could help in your journey of healing. 💖
How would I show up as a momma.... that line!
