Laurie Beck - Pilates Instructor, Jewelry Designer, Author

Laurie Beck is many things to many people—

a wife, mother, daughter, sister, Pilates instructor, wellness expert, Reiki practitioner, coach, jewelry designer, author, horse trainer and cancer survivor, among others.

Her health and wellness background, coupled with her life experiences and empowering message of hope and positivity, allows Beck to bring comfort, hope, healing and encouragement to all who find her. After her battle with cancer and living to tell the tale, she's on a mission to remain cancer free, live and share her lessons of hope, eliminate negativity and stress and take time for herself every day.

Eight Little Lessons of Hope and Healing is the meditative book written by Beck based on her memoir, Living to Tell. With the desire to extend this knowledge to others and encourage each individual to find their personal healing strength, she shares the eight daily intentions that helped save her life. Each chapter is complemented by crystals that are featured in her jewelry line. "Self-healing is an empowering choice and an action to bring awareness into our lives,” says Beck.

Beck’s Chi Bella Jewelry line has taken the elements and created exquisite pieces of jewelry, incorporating organic crystals, freshwater pearls, genuine gemstones and leather. Her specialty piece is the handmade Lotus Flower, made of clay, semiprecious stones and crystals. The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. Untouched by the impurity, the lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind and represents long life, health, honor and good luck.

Thirty A Review: Eight Little Lessons Book

by Mary Welch

Almost six years ago, Laurie Beck was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and was told she would die within a few years. Not only is she still alive, the diagnosis changed her life. Today, she is in spontaneous remission and she is happier, healthier, and has a richer life than ever before.

"Just because you get told something doesn't mean it is," she says.

Beck, who owns Pilates by the Sea in Santa Rosa Beach, has been on an incredible life-changing healing  path and is sharing her insights in The Eight Little Lessons Book.

"I was on a mission and instead of being devasted by my cancer I was brought down a path of gratitude. It opened me up in a different way. You need to learn what to do to help yourself."

"The Healing Journey of Author, Jewelry Designer and Fitness Finatic Laurie Beck"

by Zandra Wolfgram

"Sometimes you have to invent your own miracle." So says author, jewelry designer, and fitness guru Laurie Beck. After being diagnosed with two forms of cancer (non-Hodgkins lymphoma and marginal cell leukemia) in 2006, in addition to seeing one of the best oncologists in the country, Beck immersed herself into the vigilant practice of serveral complementary therapies, from yoga, meditation and Reiki to wearing crystals and using the power of positive thinking. Five years later Beck's cancer is indolent but could recur anytime. This possibility has strengthened her resolve to stay well mentally, physically and  spiritually.
