Soupelina Holistic healing for cancer and chronic illness with Elina Fuhrman. Start Healing ➤ http://www.soupelina.com And just like that, Soupelina was born.

Root cause healing through nutrition, gut repair, nervous system regulation, and psychospiritual transformation. In 2009 I began cooking my healthy soups in my own kitchen while fighting an aggressive breast cancer. What began as a healing experiment for myself turned into gourmet magic that had my friends not only calling me “the soup guru” but asking to buy my one-of-a-kind creations. Soupelina aspires to give you the power of starting a healthy lifestyle to transform your life and the lives of your family and friends. Soupelina is redefining tradition with its impeccable attention to detail and commitment to locally sourced ingredients. Every herb, root, and leaf is organic and most everything is purchased daily at local farmers markets. With names like “Lentil Me Entertain You!”, “Sweet Coconut Thai Oh My!” and “Kale-ifornia Dreamin’,” we cook to delight our followers. We love to see people eat well; that’s what makes us happy! For generations people enjoyed soup to nourish and heal, and they have also searched for the perfect soup to cure what ails them. I created Soupelina to make our world a healthier place. That’s my dream starting one cup of soup at a time, and together we can all become healthier, happier and stronger. Are you ready to join me on my mission?

Meditation first found me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It taught me how to listen to myself, trust my intuition, and ultimately, played a profound role in my healing. I like to call meditation “the most eye-opening experience with your eyes closed.”

Keep reading….

My relationship with meditation hasn’t always been consistent. There have been periods when I’ve practiced consistently and others when life got in the way. But it’s the one practice I always return to, and one I haven’t spoken about nearly enough.

Last week, I traveled into the Amazon jungle to meditate with my dear friend and spiritual teacher, Swami Nardanand, whom many lovingly call Guruji. He is one of very few living Shaktipat Siddha masters who transmits spiritual energy through his blessings.

I’ve been meditating for over 15 years, six of them with Guruji, who has taught me that meditation is, above all, a homecoming to yourself. A way of discovering that the wisdom you’re searching for already lives within you. That you are your own guru. “When you recognize your own engineering, your body’s intelligence and technology, when you master your own body and mind, your life becomes pure joy,” says Guruji.

But something extraordinary happened in Brazil.
Being in Guruji’s presence, meditating beside him, feeling the unfolding of Shakti within me, I experienced something I can only describe as a direct connection to the Divine. Something I had understood intellectually for years suddenly became a living experience in my entire being.

I’m still integrating it all. The shifts I’m feeling are profound, and I don’t yet have words for everything that’s unfolding. But I know this experience has deepened my understanding of myself, the world, and what it truly means to heal from the inside out.

And that’s why I’m sharing this with you. Meditation is the most accessible healing tool.
You don’t need a guru, a mantra, or anything fancy to begin. Just close your eyes, sit with yourself in silence for a few minutes every day, and see what happens. You might be surprised by what you discover. And it might just might change your life.

Early cancer detection and screening get a lot of attention during Breast Cancer Awareness month. But nobody is talking about the complicated emotions that come when the doctors tell you you are cancer-free.

This post is for my ladies who’ve just finished treatments and are wondering, now what? I see you.

It’s also for the women who did everything their doctors told them to do, celebrated months or even years cancer-free, and are now facing the heartbreak and confusion of a recurrence.

The truth is, the end of cancer treatments doesn’t mean the impact of cancer is over.

Everything changes after a cancer diagnosis, even if you are lucky to beat it. We need to talk about what happens to women’s bodies, minds, relationships and sense of identity after cancer. About the disconnect between being told you’re doing well and actually feeling well. And about what we can do to rebuild our health and reduce the risk of recurrence. Healing deserves a much bigger conversation than prescriptions and follow-up scans.

It’s been 17 years cancer free for me and not a day goes by when I don’t actively participate in my health and healing. Because being cancer-free and feeling healed, vibrant and truly well are not the same thing. And it’s time we started talking about the difference.

When you are navigating a cancer diagnosis, you want to do everything you can to heal and make sure cancer never comes back. But how do you actually do that?

Cancer is not one disease. It’s many. The tumor is the messenger, telling you that something is out of balance, and that what you’ve been doing up until now isn’t working.

Yes, there’s a cure you found online. Yes, you heard about a therapy, a food, an herb, or a protocol that helped someone else. But how do you know what’s right for you?

When I was going through my own cancer journey, I couldn’t find anyone to guide me through the myriad of information, conflicting advice, therapies, and decisions. I had to navigate it alone, and it was hard. I remember wishing there was someone who could help me make sense of it all, someone who understood what I was going through and could walk beside me.

My own journey became my life’s mission. I created the Cancer Healing Journey so that no woman has to navigate cancer alone.

I’m here for you, to help you step out of the overwhelm and see the whole picture. Together, we look at your body, your terrain, your environment, your lifestyle, and the patterns that may have contributed to where you are today. Then I create a clear, personalized strategy for moving forward.

Healing is about knowing what makes sense for you, what needs to change, and how to create the health to match the life you desire.

During my cancer healing journey, I became fascinated by the ancient medicines of Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine and Naturopathy, and their reliance on the medicinal intelligence of herbs, spices, roots, and veggies in healing.

I started creating my own medicinal potions and turning them into delicious soups that nourished my body, supported elimination, replenished minerals, and gave my system a break from heavy digestion. Soups became my way of feeding my body while creating space for healing.

When we take the burden of heavy digestion off the body, we create space for its natural intelligence to do what it does best: restore, repair, and release what no longer serves us, physically and energetically. And then heal.

What changed the way you think about healing?

09/02/2026

I’m often asked what diets are best for healing. You know, I’ve tried them all.

After almost two decades of testing nutritional protocols, trendy diets and food combinations, I’ve often asked myself - when it comes to healing, what foods give my body what it needs instead of having her spend all the energy digesting? And the answer has always been soup!

Because with soup, your body is not constantly working to break down the food and uses its resources to heal. Especially when the soup is properly prepared, with nutrient-dense vegetables, roots, herbs, and spices.

Healing begins with making nourishment easier to receive.

We are constantly looking for ways to improve our health, but do you ever step back and look at the whole picture?

We change our diets. We start exercising. We lift weights. We buy better supplements. We switch products. We try to create healthier routines.

But who actually looks at everything surrounding you and asks, “What here could be affecting my health?”

What is happening inside your home? What are you exposed to every day? What patterns have become so normal that you no longer even notice them?

I loved the opportunity to speak with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, a leading physician and integrative cancer specialist, on his podcast about how health is influenced by far more than the things we consciously think we’re doing right. There are hidden patterns, environmental exposures, routines, products, and details in our everyday lives that can easily go unnoticed.

When you’re on my signature Healing Journey program, the Breakthrough Day is when I come into your home and take a comprehensive look at the many layers of your life that can affect your health, including the ones you may never have thought to examine.

Comment BREAKTHROUGH if you are ready to make a breakthrough on your healing journey.

It sounds silly until you feel it.

Thank you for sharing this simple and powerful little song with the world. We love it so much!

There’s a freedom in letting go of what you can’t control.

Forgiving, releasing grudges, chasing things you think would make you happy, and surrendering the endless need to know what comes next.

I believe the greatest gift you can give the world is the best version of yourself. When you come face to face with your own mortality, the things that once felt urgent begin to fall away.

What remains is what has always mattered. Love, connection, presence and truth.

Cancer taught me that healing is not just about the body. It’s about coming home to yourself. It’s about listening to the whispers you ignored for years. It’s about having the courage to live in alignment with who you really are.

Which is why today I help women navigate their own healing journeys, not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and holistically. Comment HEALING you’re looking for support, guidance, or a different way of approaching your healing.

Cancer didn’t just heal me, it completely redirected my life.

Cancer forced me to pay attention to what I was ignoring for years. I didn’t hear the whispers, so cancer stopped me in my tracks and asked the questions I was avoiding. What truly matters? Are you living your truth? What needs to change?

Cancer awakened me to my own life.

“F**k Cancer” is a popular slogan when someone is diagnosed. We are taught to view cancer as an enemy, a battle we need to fight, a war to win.

I see it differently.

Starting a fight when cancer appears on your doorstep maybe the very thing keeping you from hearing its message.

Instead, ask cancer what’s it here for? What’s it trying to show me? What’s my body asking me to pay attention to?

What if your body is not working against you but f o r you?

I don’t see cancer as the enemy.
I see it as the teacher.
