Alicia Avila

Alicia is a Radical Remission Coach whose life was profoundly reshaped by her journey through Stage 3 pancreatic cancer in April 2021. What began as a terrifying diagnosis became a catalyst for deep transformation. After enduring a seven-hour robotic Whipple surgery, a challenging recovery, chemotherapy and radiation, Alicia experienced firsthand the emotional and spiritual terrain that comes with life-threatening illness.

Throughout her healing process, she embraced all 10 Radical Remission Healing Factors, discovering tools and insights that supported not just her physical recovery but her entire way of being. She often says that if cancer had not arrived at her doorstep, she may never have awakened to the fullness of life—the quiet miracle of a sunrise, the warmth of a cup of tea on a cold morning, or the profound sweetness of time spent with loved ones.

Today, Alicia lives with a renewed sense of gratitude and purpose. She finds joy in her connection with her beloved horse, and in the long walks and tender companionship of her dog. Above all, her days are enriched by the love and partnership she shares with her husband —her steadfast co-conspirator in this ever-unfolding adventure of life.

As a Radical Remission Coach, Alicia brings compassion, lived wisdom, and a deep understanding of the healing journey. She supports others in reconnecting with their inner strength, exploring holistic pathways to wellness, and discovering the possibility of transformation within their own stories.
