Imagine facing an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis and being told you have only months to live. That's the reality Amanda McCordic confronted in December 2019. In this emotional and inspiring episode of Ready Set Reiki, we bring you Amanda's courageous journey from a terminal diagnosis to defying the odds through the power of Reiki. Her story is a transformative testament to hope, healing, and the extraordinary mind-body connection that has kept her scans clean since November 2020.

Amanda's path was far from easy. As she navigated her battle with cancer, she also faced the heartbreaking struggles of her husband Matt’s untreated schizophrenia, culminating in his tragic suicide in March 2020. Amanda opens up about how Reiki became a beacon of strength and healing through these unimaginable challenges. Her initiative, Dragonfly Reiki Marketplace, is a testament to her resilience and dedication to spreading the healing light of Reiki, even in communities where skepticism abounds.

Moreover, Amanda shares invaluable lessons on self-love, personal boundaries, and the importance of consent and free will in the practice of Reiki. Her heartfelt narrative highlights the transformative power of positive thinking on physical health and underscores the significance of community and ongoing learning for new Reiki practitioners. Please tune in to hear Amanda's profound insights, the legacy she aims to leave for her children, and the liberating acceptance of life's unpredictability. It's an episode that will leave you inspired and hopeful, reminding us of the incredible strength of the human spirit.

Amanda McCordic is a mother, wife, lawyer, entrepreneur, terminal cancer survivor, and Holy
Fire® Karuna Reiki Master.
In December 2019, Amanda was diagnosed with aggressive Breast Cancer, and by April 2020,
the cancer was deemed terminal. A classic type “A” personality, Amanda made the conscious
decision to live with hope and to focus on healing, rather than dying.
Through divine intervention, Amanda had her very first Reiki session 12 hours after finding her
first cancer tumor. Amanda’s cancer journey kicked started her spiritual journey, and she leaned
heavily into Reiki to help her heal all parts of her body, mind, and soul. Defying her oncologist's
expectations or understanding, Amanda was able to heal her cancer metastases, and her
scans have remained clean since November 2020.
While pushing through her healing, Amanda witnesses her husband, Matt, losing his battle
with his mental health. In March 2020, Matt committed suicide in their home, leading to some
of the most emotional and spiritually challenging days of her life. Amanda again leaned into
Reiki, making peace with his choice and the difficult path they had walked together. Amanda
openly chronicled the ups and downs of her cancer journey and her loss of Matt on her Facebook
page, “Amanda’s Tango with Terminal Cancer.” Offering candid insight into her path and the
lessons she had learned.
Amanda credits Reiki with guiding and healing her. Amand has such gratitude for all that Reiki
is and does for her, she felt called to help spread the light, hope, and love of Reiki to all those
who seek it, while also assisting Reiki Masters with sharing their light through entrepreneurship.
It was as a result of this calling that Dragonfly Marketplace was created.
Amanda resides just outside of Fredericton, New Brunswick, with her second husband Brad,
children Ethan and Amelia, dogs Larsen and Zoe, and cats Jake Puralota and Cleopatra. She
remains healthy, strong, vibrant, and incredibly thankful for her second chance.
