In 2013, Dr. Zupan was diagnosed with aggressive hormone-dependent breast cancer and given only a 5% chance of survival without chemotherapy or radiation. But she said no to conventional treatment — and yes to a path of deep, natural, and energy-based healing. Through frequency recalibration, subconscious reprogramming, emotional integration, and physical detoxification, she not only healed… she rebuilt her entire life. Today, she leads the Mastering Energy Academy and the Dr. Neja Zupan Institute, where she supports high achievers and conscious professionals in restoring their health, vitality, and clarity — by working with the energy behind their biology. She believes autoimmune conditions are often a response to misalignment — emotional suppression, inherited trauma, and energetic stagnation that builds over time. She helps clients decode the body’s signals and return to natural regulation through presence, nervous system balance, and vibrational awareness.
