TOPICS

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

My priority is to create a safe space where you feel supported, heard, and understood. Drawing from my own experience as a cancer patient, I empathize with your feelings. Research consistently shows that well-supported cancer patients experience shorter recovery periods, fewer side effects, reduced recurrence risk, and improved survival rates.

SETTING THE RIGHT MINDSET

Maintaining a positive and constructive mindset is crucial, even when faced with inevitable ups and downs. During difficult moments, I’ll be by your side, teaching you coping techniques to manage stress, fear, and anxiety.

PRACTICAL ADVICE AND INFORMATION

A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. The sheer volume of information and treatment plans can leave you feeling lost. I’ll guide you through your test results and equip you with questions to ask your medical team. This understanding will empower you to communicate effectively with your healthcare providers. Additionally, getting organized provides a sense of control amidst uncertainty. INDIVIDUAL

TREATMENT AND SURGERY DECISION SUPPORT

Navigating treatment options can indeed feel overwhelming. I’ll assist you in understanding the choices, potential side effects, and risks associated with each path. The goal is to empower you with knowledge, enabling informed decisions. INDIVIDUAL

COPING WITH TREATMENT SIDE EFFECTS

Cancer treatments often bring physical and emotional side effects. I’ll be your guide, walking you through practical steps to better cope with these challenges. We’ll explore lifestyle interventions and adapt your diet based on your specific treatment plans. By making informed choices, we enhance your overall well-being and resilience throughout the treatment journey. This includes personalized advice on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction.

PREPARING FOR CANCER TREATMENT

Having personally experienced chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapies, and multiple breast surgeries, I understand the fear and uncertainty that you might feel before starting treatment. My mission is to equip you with knowledge and confidence, ensuring you know what to expect during your cancer treatment. INDIVIDUAL

NUTRITION GUIDELINES

The question I’m frequently asked is, “What should I eat?” It’s natural to seek a healthy diet, yet confusion often arises. Together, we’ll establish comprehensive and easy-to-implement guidelines tailored to each phase of your treatment. From smart grocery shopping to kitchen organization and simple recipes, we’ll ensure your nutrition supports your recovery and overall well-being.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

I understand that exercise can feel daunting, especially during a time when vulnerability and uncertainty prevail. However, research unequivocally supports the benefits of physical activity for cancer patients. As a certified Yoga teacher specializing in Yoga Therapy, I’ll guide you through safe movements tailored to your abilities and energy levels. Together, we’ll find ways to incorporate manageable physical activity into your daily life.

SUPPORT NATURAL DETOXIFICATION

Enhancing natural detoxification and elimination of toxins is crucial in the context of cancer. I will teach you about vital detoxification pathways and we will explore practical ways to boost your body’s innate ability to detoxify naturally. You’ll gain an understanding of how your diet and lifestyle habits can impact the detoxification process.

OPTIMIZING SLEEP

Sleep plays a critical role in your recovery and overall healing. When you sleep, your body actively repairs and regenerates. Studies reveal that insomnia affects cancer patients at three times the rate of the general population. For some, it persists for two to five years after treatment ends. I’m passionate about teaching evidence-based techniques and healthy sleep habits. By optimizing your sleep, we enhance your body’s natural healing processes.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

People who skillfully manage stress experience lower levels of depression, anxiety, and other symptoms related to cancer and its treatment. I’ll introduce you to practical coping strategies, to help you navigate stress and anxiety. Implementing relaxation techniques in your daily life will allow well-deserved moments of mental disconnect.

EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING

I firmly believe, and my experience coaching cancer patients confirms, that true healing cannot be achieved without addressing emotional health. Our minds require healing just as much as our bodies. Negative emotions—such as anger, resentment, unforgiveness, and sadness—act as toxins, affecting not only our spirit but also our physical well-being. Learning to cultivate positive and constructive thoughts is essential. As a pragmatic and science-based thinker, it took me time to realize this truth. Addressing emotional well-being is a fundamental aspect of my coaching.

CREATING A HEALTHY LIVING ENVIRONMENT

Our bodies are remarkably intelligent; our organs work in harmony to maintain health. However, when our immune systems are vulnerable, additional support becomes crucial in coping with environmental pollutants and toxic exposures. I’ll provide practical advice on creating the healthiest possible living environment. We’ll discuss clean water, air quality, safe food containers, cooking utensils, and even ways to minimize exposure to electromagnetic waves.

SUPPORT FOR CAREGIVERS, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS

Cancer doesn’t affect only the patient—it ripples through the lives of those surrounding them. Your family and friends may feel disoriented, scared, and uncertain about how best to support you. By offering guidance and practical tips, I will empower your loved ones, making them feel more confident and better equipped to stand by your side.
