Cheryl Ilov is an author, dancer, martial artist, and physical therapist. She’s also a former chronic pain patient who began a journey of self-healing after she was told by medical professionals that she would never recover.

Well recover she did.  And more!  Cheryl began training in the ancient martial art of the Ninja after she was sexually assaulted by her doctor.  Cheryl was 47 at the time and became her sensei’s only female black belt at the age of 57 when she attained her second degree black belt.

This is an amazing conversation with a fascinating person who does not quit!
