I am a life coach who works with cancer survivors as they navigate the new versions of themselves.
My training is in positive psychology, narrative healing, neuroscience and post-traumatic growth.
During my battle with cancer, I identified a severe gap in out-patient needs. I founded Carved by Cancer – a support network for cancer survivors. The organization provides community and resources. It helps patients transition to control of their bodies and to find freedom in their survivorship. You can join our free community, connect with others, learn at your own pace, and access self-guided courses.
My cancer journey began with shock, fear and confusion. When diagnosed, I was in the 11th month of a year-long yoga teacher training program. Strong and healthy … except I had cancer. During treatment, I felt powerless, at the mercy of the medical system and the amazing humans intently focused on me and saving my life. When it was over, I slowly healed from the physical trauma of surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation.
I understood that my life was different but I felt trapped trying to squeeze into the old normal. Inside I suffered silently and alone dealing with the long-term side effects of my treatment. I felt wildly disconnected from my self, my body, my meaning and my purpose. For 17 years, I lived with this inner conflict.
I began my long road of healing. I discovered and became passionate about positive psychology, post-traumatic growth and self discovery. Through this work, I found my way back to me … a path I remain on. I happily seek others to join me on this journey to our highest potential.
I am active and enjoy regular Pilates, yoga, and meditation practices. Adventure and travel are two of my top priorities. Nature is my playground and music moves me. Most importantly, I am honored to be the mother of two young men and so blessed to be here on this earth and able to witness them sharing their genius with the world. We enjoy grand adventures together.
I can work with you virtually.
