Healing Journeys was founded as a result of a personal cancer experience. In 1989, Jan Adrian became one of the 1.8 million women in this country diagnosed with breast cancer. Treatments recommended to Jan focused on the physical body, leaving psychological, social, and spiritual needs unmet. Combining the needs she felt as a cancer survivor with her experience in teaching seminars, Jan designed a two-day conference called Cancer as a Turning Point, From Surviving to Thriving™. Healing Journeys is a non-profit organization.
