You Deserve To Feel Empowered And Equipped On Your Cancer Journey.
It’s time to take control of your diagnosis, instead of letting your diagnosis control your life. When you hear that diagnosis of cancer, it affects your life in inexplicable ways. The physical and mental demands of undergoing the treatment should be enough, but many also struggle with the aftermath of their treatment. It changes you physically, mentally and emotionally. It causes anxiety and depression, challenges your relationships, damages your confidence and often leaves you feeling vulnerable and unsupported. As cancer recovery coaches, our goal is to provide a holistic blend of coaching support that enables patients and cancer survivors to successfully deal with the impact that this diagnosis has had on their lives. Don’t let your diagnosis control you. We will break down the barriers surrounding your disease, showing you how you can once again live well.
A systematic approach to fight cancer and live your life. Through our structured cancer recovery coaching system, we provide you with proven tools to manage side effects, clarity about the current research on your treatment options, and counsel you through your anxiety and depression about your diagnosis. We customize each coaching relationship to be sure that we meet your individual needs based on your health history, personality, and diagnosis.
Because progress in your health takes time and effort, our programs are designed for a longer-term relationship of 3, 6 or 12 months to ensure we have time to implement the wellness practices and see results. We’re with you for the long haul, friend. Do you ever feel like your cancer diagnosis has taken control of your life? Do you wake up in the morning worried about how you’re going to make it through another round of treatment?
Wonder how you’re going to deal with your fatigue, poor appetite, and other unpleasant side effects? Once you’ve reached remission, do you wonder, now that I’m done with treatment where did all my support go? I’m lonely, overweight and feel like a different person. How to get my life back? We’re here for you. In our coaching we empower you to thrive even with your cancer diagnosis, instead of letting it define you.

Cancer Coaching Frequently Asked Questions
We’re glad you asked! The role of a cancer recovery coach is to partner with the patient to help them throughout their cancer journey. A cancer recovery coach will help the client to learn about evidence-based integrative approaches that could help them during their cancer journey. They will increase the client’s knowledge of treatment plans as they work with their physician to make confident treatment choices. The cancer recovery coach will help the patient in every detail of their journey through cancer diagnosis and treatment. For cancer survivors, a cancer recovery coach provides information on how to manage after cancer treatment. For survivors the focus is on prevention, recovering from side effects of treatment and self-care modalities to help the client stay in remission and live a full life. Integrative cancer coaches focus on the mind, body and spirit.
We form a relationship with the client and implement a structured plan to encourage a healthy journey and recovery by providing encouragement and feedback.
After working together, you’ll feel more comfortable going to your doctor’s appointments, since you’ll be prepared with specific questions each visit. You’ll get your anxiety about your diagnosis under control by using the integrative approaches that we teach. You will feel empowered by the wealth of knowledge you’ll have about your diagnosis, and feel comfortable with the plan of care that your doctor gave you, because you’ll understand it so much better.

Cancer coaching is a commitment, and as the client, you need to be open to change and come to the calls prepared. The client and the coach are a team working on the same goals. As cancer coaches, we’re here to help you to make these changes with positive reinforcement.
Shaming, denigrating or punishing has no place in cancer coaching. During the sessions, we would like for you to be mindful and open to change because that is what will help you transform. After the sessions, you have to make time to reflect on and implement the changes you need to accomplish the goals. It would be our privilege to be your cancer coach.
