SPECIALIZING IN INTEGRATIVE CANCER CARE
If you’re looking for cancer support, you’ve come to the right place! My mission is to help ease your fears, find ways to lessen your treatment side effects, and discourage the initiation, promotion, and progression of your cancer… for a safe and early recovery.
You might be wondering, what is integrative cancer care?
Integrative cancer care involves focusing on you as a whole person and not just a cancer diagnosis. While your Oncologist’s job is to focus on treating your cancer, a cancer coach’s focus is on helping you learn the best way to support yourself during and after your treatment.
Maintaining your health and strengthening your immune system can help minimize the side effects of cancer treatment, as well as encourage cancer recovery. By addressing 4 key pillars of cancer care you can take back control of your health!
Let’s Solve Problems
We Help you Create a Cancer Recovery Plan…
Nutritional Guidance
Eating well can be an essential part of your recovery and well-being, but it’s understandable if you are feeling uncertain about what that means. We will create a healthy diet tailored to each phase of treatment, with simple tips on how to get organized in the kitchen, shop for groceries wisely, and prepare tasty recipes! Together we can ensure that nutrition plays its part in achieving health goals at every stage.
Stress Management
Did you know that managing stress levels can help keep cancer and its symptoms at bay? Studies indicate a direct link between high chronic stress, depression, and social isolation with faster progression of the disease. To help combat this you will learn effective tools for dealing with anxiety. From calming breathing techniques to moments for relaxation, learn how these exercises may improve your well-being!
Detoxification Strategies
Detoxification can help remove harmful substances such as toxins, heavy metals, and carcinogens from the body, reduce inflammation levels, increase energy levels, and boost immunity. It can also help improve metabolic function, manage pain, and reduce stress levels. Detoxing helps the body regain balance which is important in reducing cancer risks and improving overall health and longevity.
Emotional Health
Patients in my cancer coaching practice often grapple with more than just physical symptoms – emotional health needs to be acknowledged and addressed for real, holistic healing. Fostering positive thoughts can help manage the toxic burden of negative emotions like anger, resentment, and sadness that can sap our well-being. Addressing emotional issues is essential for true recovery.
Lifestyle Factors
Making certain lifestyle changes after cancer is essential for effective recovery. It’s important to exercise regularly to increase muscle strength, improve flexibility and reduce fatigue. Getting quality sleep is also important for healing and cellular repair. By incorporating these lifestyle factors into your daily routine, you can maximize the benefits of your cancer treatment plan for better long-term recovery outcomes.
Recurrence Prevention
Recurrence prevention is an important part of managing cancer to reduce the chances of a patient’s cancer returning. There are many steps you can take to reduce your risk of recurrence and improve your overall health. These include eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and monitoring your physical and mental health. Taking these proactive steps can help give you peace of mind.
