I remember the day I walked out of my last treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I was relieved—and lost, unsure how to navigate life after cancer. That moment and later, surviving through breast cancer and basal cell carcinoma, changed me in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

I became a Cancer Journey Coach because I know how important it is to have someone walk beside you—not only during treatment, but also after, when the emotional journey continues. My background in Somatic Psychology helps me support you in reconnecting with yourself and your sense of agency, while my experience as a finance coach gives me tools to help you feel grounded in the practical side of life transitions.

For me, coaching is about creating a safe place where all feelings and experiences are welcome—without editing or the need to take care of others. It’s a space where agency, meaning, and even joy in the small moments can emerge, especially when overwhelmed by exhaustion. Cancer becomes not just something you endure, but something that reshapes you in ways that can empower you now and in your future. Even if it feels out of reach now, the first step is for us to work together to create a safe place where I welcome all of you without judgment.
