Synopsis

Rebel Healing is unlike any other book you’ve read about healing or chronic illness. This insightful guide offers a fresh perspective on the complex relationship between individual well-being and the societal systems that contribute to chronic health challenges.Rather than treating illness as an individual matter, Noëlle shows readers that their illness is not their fault and points them to the power and agency they have to heal themselves, and the systems that made them sick in the first place.Noëlle reframes the discussion of illness to say that the opposite of illness is not health but justice, and that it is our sick systems that make many illnesses chronic, like conditions affecting primarily women that get ignored or go undiagnosed in mainstream medical contexts.By acknowledging the social and political roots of chronic illness, and uplifting wisdom from the disability justice and healing justice movements, Noëlle empowers readers to find their own path towards healing and become agents of change in the world around them.In this book, you’ll discover:A radical redefinition of healingAn understanding of the social and political causes of chronic illnessSteps to start building a strong foundation for healing right nowStrategies to heal in communityResources to turn your challenges into superpowersStrategies for cultivating the hope and resilience needed to thrive amidst adversityLet Noëlle’s years of personal experience and professional expertise as a coach help you reclaim the full potential of your healing journey.
