When Mary B. Battaglia was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in 2021 it felt like her whole life changed over night. She understands first hand the feelings and emotions you feel and how to pause and catch your breath. Her tool belt of hypnosis techniques gave her strength, love and support as she navigated a challenging time in her life.

Breast cancer awareness is very important to me because my sister passed away from breast cancer 2 years ago. Her birthday is this month and she would have been 51 years old. So I would like to try and make a difference so that other people don’t lose a sister, mother, grandmother, cousin, aunt, niece, or friend to breast cancer.
