Why I Do What I Do:
Growing up in a war-torn part of the world where loss and trauma are rampant, I remember a seminal moment at the age of six, witnessing a woman I looked up to breaking down after learning her husband had not returned from the war. The look of fear and loss in her eyes burned intensely into my brain. I wanted it to go away so badly! But, being so young, there wasn’t much I could do. At that moment, I felt powerless and helpless.
Many years later, I saw the very same look in someone else’s eyes. That person was a cancer patient who came to me for a consultation seeking relief. At that moment, I was no longer that helpless child. Now I had the tools and the knowledge and could finally help.
That patient changed the direction of my practice. He gave it a clear and defined focus – to help people facing cancer and trauma break through to recovery.
As an army veteran, I know the value of discipline and pushing through. Cancer is a battlefield of sorts. It’s why my cancer journey, healing, and recovery programs are goal-oriented and results-driven. And yet, as a parent of two daughters, I’ve learned to be nurturing and grounded, too. That’s what I offer those I work with— a safe and structured sanctuary for healing both mind and body.
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING: I earned my degree as an Integrative Medicine Practitioner from Reidman International College for Complementary and Integrative Medicine in Israel in 2000. I later received certification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) and the National Federation of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NFNLP) in the United States.
CANCER AND TRAUMA RECOVERY COACHING: My approach to recovery recognizes the multidimensional nature of trauma and illness. For those who want to take an active role in their healing, I offer a safe, practical, and effective path—one that helps engage the mind's measurable influence on immune function and the body's capacity to recover.
BODY AND MIND CONNECTION: Research shows that emotional experiences can shape physical health. The effects of past trauma are real, and they often live on in the body—shaping how we feel, respond, and heal. That’s why my work is goal-oriented and focused on addressing the root causes of suffering—not just the symptoms.

The Mental Science of Healing
Pre-Order Link: https://access.avinoamlerner.com/mindful-remission-pre-order
Mindful Remission is a groundbreaking self-help workbook designed to empower cancer patients to become active participants in their healing journey—mentally, emotionally, and biologically. Blending scientific insight with compassionate guidance, this practical guide invites patients to explore a powerful question: What if healing isn’t just about what happens to your body, but also what happens within your mind?
Grounded in the science of Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), Mindful Remission explores how thoughts, emotions, and subconscious beliefs can influence immune function, stress physiology, and ultimately, the body’s capacity to heal. The central premise is clear: by shifting from passive recipient of treatment to engaged participant—an “exceptional patient”—one can create an internal environment more conducive to recovery and long-term well-being.
The workbook is divided into two parts:
Part One lays the theoretical foundation, introducing core concepts such as the mind-body connection, subconscious reprogramming, and the influence of unresolved trauma on health.
Part Two delivers an integrative, step-by-step roadmap for healing, including practical tools and daily activities that patients can implement alongside conventional treatment.
Therapeutic modalities include Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), self-hypnosis, guided visualization (e.g., The Mind’s Control Room, The Gray Room), shadow work, belief reconstruction, breathwork, and coherence training. Each exercise is designed to reduce fear, release emotional tension, and strengthen the inner terrain necessary for healing.
Far more than a collection of techniques, Mindful Remission is a return to wholeness—a deeply supportive, empowering, and emotionally grounded process that guides individuals from survival mode into a state of aligned, intentional living. Whether newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or navigating survivorship, readers will learn how to access their own inner healing intelligence—one breath, one intention, and one conscious choice at a time.
