"Joana Breckner provided our Soroptimist Club with an uplifting, brave and honest view into her journey of multiple cancer recoveries. She is a true survivor who exhibits qualities of strength and hope. Joana is a role model for all women who are forced to overcome obstacles that were not planned during their journey. We were honored to have her speak to us that day."

We recently had the privilege of hosting Joana Breckner at Montana Dental Association’s First District meeting. She delivered a lecture called “Discovering Your Power” to our members, detailing her victories and challenges in being a 3-time oral cancer survivor. The discussion was well-received, and we all appreciated her bravery in relaying this difficult experience to providers like ourselves. It was very unique in the manner that she was able to articulate what tools were effective in her overcoming her circumstances. We were truly thankful and inspired! Highly recommend!
"Strength is something achieved, and we had experienced a presentation at our club by Joana Breckner, who showed us the power of mind and body to overcome the most impossible circumstances.
Joana’s presentation was enlightening and encouraging to me and my club members."

"Joana Breckner was one of the presenters at a Ted Talks event our community held in 2017. Joana was extremely inspiring and had such an uplifting message. You could hear a pin drop while she spoke. Her words radiated with hope and faith, as she spoke of dealing and coping during painful and difficult times during one’s life.
Joana has an oratory gift. She is articulate, clear and eloquent, and sprinkles her talks with humor and wit. Joana is able to relay her powerful message in a captivating way, in a manner that leaves her audience empowered to create a paradigm shift in life, altering perspective and living on a daily basis with faith and hope."
