Cancer Coach

Learn to Adopt to a Healthy Lifestyle

Bracashirts are designed for post-surgical drains. Mastectomy drains need to be secure to enhance safety during your mastectomy recovery.  We also provide cancer coaching and education. The pillars of our strength is not only in our products but in our coaching, cancer education series and support groups. 

Receiving a diagnosis of cancer is daunting and very overwhelming.  I was like a “Deer in the Headlights” feeling scared, confused, inundated with information and literally felt a loss of control. 

Learning to cope with change and gaining your strength again can be formidable, challenging and overwhelming. To confidently understand and manage your body image changes and adjust to a post cancer healing healthy lifestyle, you may need the knowledge and guidance to help you make healthy choices.  Let’s face it, we don’t  want cancer recurrence. 

I understand the feelings of frustration, uncertainty, powerless and demoralizing countenance.  Don’t feel unsettled in building the next steps of your life.    Ask yourself, what would it take to help me make more effective decisions, educate myself, and feel empowered going forward in my healing journey. Just as you choose to love, choose with confidence to direct, advocate and plan for your care across the continuum of your health care journey. We support client with cancer and chronic illness.  

I am here to help you

Everyone’s cancer journey is unique. I think getting cancer was the worst but also the best thing that ever happened to me.  For the first time, I looked at adopting a life change in my exercise, dietary regime, relaxation techniques, and sleeping patterns. Understand how stress impacts your immune system and impacts cancer. 

My mission is to support you through nutrition education, stress reduction, and lifestyle education from your home with online individual teaching and coaching.  I would like to help you understand how stress impacts your immune system and impacts cancer.   I can help you to feel empowered, positive, and in control as you adopt and implement your lifestyle changes.  

I am a retired critical care nurse, cancer survivor and certified Holistic Cancer Coach who knows what living with cancer is like.  It is my hope to bring clarity, knowledge, empowerment to help you make sound choices that are best for you, your family and all concerned.
