What does coaching for an individual with cancer look like?

Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach

Cancer coaching provides personalized, holistic support for individuals navigating all stages of cancer, from diagnosis and into survivorship to help make the journey less overwhelming. 

A coach with specialized training from Duke Integrative Medicine, a National Board Certification and personal experience. I help clients manage emotional distress, learn to reduce treatment side effects, set lifestyle goals so they can navigate their “new normal”. 

Coaching with me can help family and friends learn the best way to be supportive. Organizing the practical parts of life such as school, work and other responsibilities is an important part of the puzzle. We work together to help you manage your own emotional well being. Cancer diagnosis brings possible anxiety, depression and stress in dealing with a diagnosis and your real and busy life. Whether you have chosen treatment or not, are just beginning the journey or are living with cancer, my coaching service is available to you.

Key Aspects of Cancer Coaching

  • Emotional & Mental Support: A safe space to process fear, anger, anxiety. The “what next” is foundational to help my clients navigate the emotional “rollercoaster” of a diagnosis.
  • Navigating “New Normal”: Rebuilding confidence during treatment and adjusting to life after treatment ends is an important part of finding the new normal.
  • Actionable Planning: I help clients learn to safely manage energy, adhere to treatment protocols, and build their own emotional resilience. For clients living with or after treatment I help clarify the
  • Practical Guidance: The rest of life does not stop with a diagnosis.  I help find the balance with practical matters, such as managing that work-life balance, returning to work and/or accessing resources.
  • Transitioning Out of Treatment: Transitioning out of treatment can be as overwhelming as the diagnosis itself. Together we work to clarify next steps to move forward with life after cancer treatment.
  • Supportive and Accessible: It’s important to have a supportive circle of people you can count on. Ongoing support and access to me is provided via text or email at any time.
