The Cancer Journey blends two turning points for founder Shariann: surviving cancer (four bouts of lymphoma, one bout with a GIST) and making life coaching her profession. The profound contrast between facing cancer without a coach and a cancer journey with a coach inspired Shariann to start a movement dedicated to cancer patients, caregivers and survivors. “I was in a state of panic and coaching allowed me to feel I had power.” Hence, the “Panic to Powerful™ Program” (now, the Certified Cancer Journey Coaching Training Program) and Cancer Journey Coaching was born. “I want this for everyone who is touched by cancer,” says Shariann, “it gives people access to True Healing.”

Shariann’s over 25 years of coaching and coach training combined with her 16 years in Corporate America in business management, sales, and marketing, gives her the balance needed to run and operate an innovative company. Shariann is regularly asked to speak to Cancer Support Centers and health conferences worldwide. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where she can be near her family, both nuclear and extended.
