Cancer Coaching
You don't have to navigate cancer alone.
A cancer diagnosis can make life feel as if it is moving faster than you can process it. There are new words to understand, decisions to make, appointments to manage, and questions you may not even know to ask.
As a registered nurse, cancer coach, and longtime oncology professional, I help you make sense of what is happening, prepare for the conversations ahead, and support your health and well-being throughout diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
When Everything Feels Overwhelming
Let's turn fear into courage and confusion into clarity.
You may have just heard the words "you have cancer," or you may already be in the middle of treatment and wondering what else you can do to support yourself.
You may be trying to understand your diagnosis, prepare for surgery, manage treatment, recover afterward, or make decisions about what comes next.
You don't have to have all the answers before reaching out.
My role is to help you understand the information in front of you, organize your questions, communicate more confidently with your healthcare team, and identify practical ways to support your overall health during and after treatment.
Support Through Every Stage
Cancer coaching can meet you where you are.
Newly Diagnosed

Jackie's Signature Coaching Framework
Focus on 4, Stronger in 7
For clients who want a deeper, structured coaching experience, I offer Focus on 4, Stronger in 7, my personalized integrative health coaching framework.
The framework is designed to help you make practical, sustainable changes one step at a time while keeping your individual needs, priorities, and goals at the center of the process.
Experience + Personalized Support
Cancer care is about more than a diagnosis.
My years in oncology taught me that every person experiences cancer differently.
Two people can have similar diagnoses and still have very different concerns, priorities, treatment experiences, family situations, and goals.
I believe good support begins by listening.
My role is not to tell you what decision to make. It is to help you understand, ask questions, explore appropriate options with your healthcare team, and feel supported as you make the choices that are right for you.
Your Voice. Your Choice. Your Health.
Integrative, Not Either/Or
Support your whole health while receiving appropriate medical care.
Cancer coaching is not a substitute for oncology treatment, medical advice, or the care of your physicians.
Instead, it adds another layer of support.
We can look at the areas that often receive less time during medical appointments, including nutrition, daily habits, stress, sleep, movement, environment, recovery, and the questions that matter most to you.
The goal is to help you feel more informed, supported, and actively involved in your health.
Helping Someone You Love?
Cancer affects more than one person.
A diagnosis can be overwhelming for spouses, adult children, caregivers, and other family members too. I can help families better understand what is happening, organize questions, prepare for appointments, and identify ways to support their loved one while also navigating their own concerns.
Ready to Talk?
You don't have to figure this out by yourself.
Whether you've just been diagnosed, are already in treatment, are recovering, or want support with survivorship and long-term health, let's start with a conversation.
