An accomplished speaker, respected expert, and brain tumor survivor, Jeannine Walston has received praise from New York Times best-sellers, practitioners, advocates, patients, caregivers, and film industry experts. Her passionate speeches inspire audiences with motivation.
In 1998, at age 24, Walston was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her treatments included three awake brain surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, and clinical trials. Since her life-changing event, Walston has developed expertise about cancer, integrative cancer care for the whole person, and integrative health and wellness.
