Amanda McCordic is a mother, wife, lawyer, entrepreneur, terminal cancer survivor, and Holy
Fire® Karuna Reiki Master.
In December 2019, Amanda was diagnosed with aggressive Breast Cancer, and by April 2020,
the cancer was deemed terminal. A classic type “A” personality, Amanda made the conscious
decision to live with hope and to focus on healing, rather than dying.
Through divine intervention, Amanda had her very first Reiki session 12 hours after finding her
first cancer tumor. Amanda’s cancer journey kicked started her spiritual journey, and she leaned
heavily into Reiki to help her heal all parts of her body, mind, and soul. Defying her oncologist's
expectations or understanding, Amanda was able to heal her cancer metastases, and her
scans have remained clean since November 2020.
While pushing through her healing, Amanda witnesses her husband, Matt, losing his battle
with his mental health. In March 2020, Matt committed suicide in their home, leading to some
of the most emotional and spiritually challenging days of her life. Amanda again leaned into
Reiki, making peace with his choice and the difficult path they had walked together. Amanda
openly chronicled the ups and downs of her cancer journey and her loss of Matt on her Facebook
page, “Amanda’s Tango with Terminal Cancer.” Offering candid insight into her path and the
lessons she had learned.
Amanda credits Reiki with guiding and healing her. Amand has such gratitude for all that Reiki
is and does for her, she felt called to help spread the light, hope, and love of Reiki to all those
who seek it, while also assisting Reiki Masters with sharing their light through entrepreneurship.
It was as a result of this calling that Dragonfly Marketplace was created.
Amanda resides just outside of Fredericton, New Brunswick, with her second husband Brad,
children Ethan and Amelia, dogs Larsen and Zoe, and cats Jake Puralota and Cleo
