Corie Dulken is a massage therapist, skin care specialist, and owner of Nature’s Spa in South Charlotte. The mom of three, who has always prioritized her physical and emotional health, found a lump in her breast in 2020 that was eventually diagnosed as breast cancer. She has gratefully completed her treatment, but continues to crusade for the critical importance of reducing stress in our bodies in order to minimize disease.

Here, Corie talks how our bodies hold emotion and trauma, never breaking the hug with her children, and the need for solitary sleep.
