Join Josette Tkacik, AJ Sarcione and Dr. Lynda Ulrich for a panel discussion on stepping into your joy, choosing a positive mindset, and remembering that joy is possible for all of us.
JOSETTE TKACIK - Trailblazer, Quantum Mystic, Medical Miracle
In 2011, professional dancer (Juiliard graduate; former Joffrey New York dancer; Alvin Ailey ; Company at Metropolitan Ballet of St. Louis and Alum of High School of Performing Arts, plus more) and new mom, Josette Tkacik was diagnosed with severe sudden onset of advanced rheumatoid arthritis, an excruciatingly painful and disabling auto immune disease for which current western medicine claims there is no cure. The only available treatment is radical and life shortening pharmaceuticals aimed (at best) to slow the progression of the disease. Within five days of diagnosis Josette’s left elbow fused at the joint (as seen in many photos) and doctors were certain that the rest of her joints structure would rapidly follow. In horrific pain and in total spiritual darkness Josette made the choice to deny any pharmaceutical treatment and set out on creating her own healing journey. Determined and motivated by love, Josette radically changed her diet and more importantly began an internal quest to connect with higher energies and the power within. At the same time, Josette began teaching Zumba fitness as a disabled instructor. This was intended as a last hurrah before total disability. She brought to her class vulnerability, and passion enveloped in love and community. In 2016, Josette was declared a “Medical Miracle” (no evidence of disease) as blood work confirmed that she in fact completely healed her RA. Josette’s signature and globally known class (now and its ninth year) remains the shining star of Zumba fitness. Since 2013 Zumba fitness CEOs tout Josette as the most successful Zumba instructor globally.
