Individualized Cancer Coaching

 | How Our Cancer Coach Can HelpCancer coaches are qualified professionals who assist your doctor and family in ensuring you understand the information provided by your healthcare team, allowing you to make informed decisions. They offer personalized and undivided attention to each client to discuss the options provided by their doctor. They can also discuss non-medical and nutritional suggestions from family/friends. Cancer coaches also provide helpful and personalized suggestions for coping with day-to-day challenges while undergoing cancer treatment. They are your go-to person for any questions or needs regarding your diagnosis and treatment. Your cancer coach is a support throughout the course of your diagnosis. Cancer coaches can help you put your diagnosis into perspective, take a step back, and get yourself together again mentally and emotionally. They help patients realize that they do have options. If you are unable to leave your home or live out of state, we will work with you over the phone or through video chat for your coaching sessions wherever you are in the USA. |
Cancer Coaching
Guiding You Through Your Cancer Journey
 | What to Expect From Coaching SessionsMost cancer patients need more support up front, at the time of diagnosis, when they are trying to make sense of the changes occurring in their life. It is often difficult to remember everything that has been shared by the healthcare team. Sometimes a specific word or action becomes the focus of thoughts and bringing that focus into perspective becomes essential. As a result, we suggest a 3-session package with additional sessions as needed.
