ABOUT US
Support Healing was founded in 2022, with the mission to provide financial assistance to women - in the Southern California area - with children under the age of 16, who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, are in active treatment and have a demonstrated need for support - so they can focus on healing.
Our goal at Support Healing is to provide financial assistance and guidance for healthy living. We believe that the foundation for good health and a strong immune system is wholesome foods, exercise and a spiritual practice. We are at our best when we have balance and perspective. Spending time in nature helps to sync us with our intrinsic rhythm. When we live in harmony with our surroundings we experience peace and well-being. Support Healing exists for the purpose of giving women help to be able to get outside, take a walk, have a homemade meal and, breathe a little easier - - and a little more often.
Our founder, Elsa Megerdichian believes in the power of excellent nutrition, movement, and a sound belief system. Elsa's life's purpose came about in the most unexpected and challenging way. In February 2015, she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. As a mother of two young children, she was petrified and worried about how she would deal with this life-altering diagnosis while trying to take care of her family. Fortunately, Elsa had the help and support of her husband and sisters. During the process of recovery, Elsa drew deeply on her faith and a subtle yet profound feeling of deep gratitude emerged. This recurring feeling of gratitude flourished into a powerful conviction of wanting to provide support for breast cancer patients who might not have the same resources Elsa had.
On her journey to renewal, Elsa discovered the power of wholesome nutrition, exercise and a spiritual practice. She firmly believes that health requires a holistic approach which includes mind, body and spirit. Getting well also requires time and commitment. Elsa established Support Healing so that women can begin their own journey to healing with the help and support they need to get there.
Elsa received her Juris Doctor degree from Syracuse University College of Law and is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University. She spent several years in business and legal affairs for CBS Broadcast International and Univision Communications Inc. She started her legal career in litigation. Elsa is a Chopra-certified Ayurvedic Lifestyle Instructor. She practices yoga and meditation. Elsa believes in the power of nature for maintaining balance, restoring health, well-being and a sense of joy. She focuses on the simple and nourishing things in life. She is married and has two teenagers.
