Описание: 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 https://www.ted.com/tedx
