A breast cancer coach is a trained professional who provides personalized guidance and emotional support to individuals diagnosed with breast cancer, whether you're in active treatment or navigating survivorship. Unlike your medical team, a breast cancer coach focuses on your overall well-being, helping you manage the physical, mental, and emotional challenges that come with cancer.

As your coach, I offer expert advice on everything from understanding your treatment options and managing side effects to overcoming anxiety and creating a wellness plan after treatment. Together, we work to empower you to take control of your cancer journey, reduce overwhelm, and build confidence every step of the way.

Fear of breast cancer recurrence is a common concern for many survivors, but there are strategies that can help manage this anxiety. Techniques like mindfulness or meditation can be effective in helping you stay grounded and reduce the fear that recurrence is always looming. Surrounding yourself with a supportive community—whether through breast cancer support groups, friends, or family—can also provide comfort.

As your cancer coach, I provide ongoing emotional support to help you navigate this fear. Together, we can work through these feelings and develop coping mechanisms so that cancer doesn’t define you any longer. Additionally, I can help you create a customized action plan for when thoughts of cancer recurrence feel overwhelming.

After breast cancer treatment, many patients feel a mix of relief and uncertainty. It’s common to experience physical side effects such as fatigue, changes in appearance, or ongoing pain. Emotionally, the transition to survivorship can bring up new concerns, such as fear of recurrence, or feeling lost without the regular structure of treatment.

This is where post-treatment support becomes crucial. As your breast cancer coach, I can help you navigate this transition by working with you to develop a post-treatment plan that focuses on rebuilding your health, creating healthy lifestyle habits, and addressing any emotional challenges that arise. Survivorship is a unique phase of the cancer journey that no one talks about, and my role is to ensure you feel supported, empowered, and prepared to move forward with confidence.

My rates vary depending on the level of support you need. Individual coaching packages start at $75 per month and can increase based on the specific type of support you’re seeking, and any additional resources you may need. Whether you’re looking for occasional guidance or ongoing, comprehensive support, I offer flexible packages to meet your needs and ensure you feel empowered throughout your breast cancer journey.

Currently, health insurance plans do not typically cover health and wellness coaching; however, this may be changing soon as more people recognize the importance of personalized cancer support. In the meantime, you can use Healthcare Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to pay for coaching services, as they are considered qualified medical expenses.

Because insurance policies vary, I encourage you to familiarize yourself with your personal plan to determine your eligibility for these payment options. I am always happy to provide invoices or necessary documentation to help you navigate your coverage.

Cancer coaching is a personalized form of support designed to complement the care you receive from your medical team. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of your diagnosis, unsure about treatment decisions, or struggling with the emotional challenges of breast cancer, coaching can help. Whether you're newly diagnosed, in active treatment, or navigating survivorship, a breast cancer coach provides guidance, emotional support, and practical tools to help you feel more empowered and in control of your journey.

If you're looking for someone to provide ongoing, personalized attention that focuses on your physical and emotional well-being, cancer coaching may be the right fit. Together, we can address your specific needs and develop a plan that helps you achieve your health and wellness goals during and after treatment.

A cancer coaching session is designed to meet your individual needs and goals, so no two sessions are alike!. Each session typically includes a combination of emotional support and practical education. We might review your current treatment plan, explore ways to manage side effects, or develop coping strategies for handling the emotional stress of a cancer diagnosis. For those out of active treatment, we often focus on wellness planning, managing fear of recurrence, and setting lifestyle goals to support long-term health.

Every session is tailored to where you are on your journey. You’ll receive one-on-one, compassionate support that empowers you to take an active role in your treatment and recovery. Whether it’s creating a personalized wellness plan, understanding your diagnosis, or navigating survivorship, my goal is to provide you with the tools and confidence you need to move forward.
