She is regarded as an expert on the subject of breast cancer.

Her book Waking the Warrior Goddess discussed her ideas about breast cancer prevention. She was instrumental in a five-year-long public relations campaign to make insurance companies pay for breast reconstruction surgery following mastectomies by making it a federal law. She is certified with the National Board of Surgery and the National Board of Plastic Surgery.
