The statistics of Cancer in the U.S. are astounding.


Each year over 1.7 million individuals will be diagnosed with cancer. 1 in every 2 men and 1 in every 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Because of cancer, these lives are disrupted and turned upside down.

As the nation’s first Cancer Coach Training Organization, The Cancer Journey Institute is also the only company and program of its type to be accredited by The International Coaching Federation (ICF).

During this period of upheaval, it is natural for cancer patients, survivors and caregivers to re-evaluate their lives and re-examine their values. It’s also natural to be wrestling with all the unresolved issues, traumas, and challenges of our lives as cancer amplifies them and brings them to a head. However, internal support (the mental, emotional, and spiritual) is often less than a second thought as the medical team focuses on the healing of the physical body.

You can be that missing piece.

As a Certified Cancer Journey Coach, accredited by the ICF, we introduce you to a holistic coaching methodology, which gives you all of the tools you need to apply to your coaching practice. We teach you how to hold space and to articulate and address their immediate needs while helping them see their desired future.

By addressing the needs of their spirit, you’ll become both a complement and essential ingredient to their support team.
Our spiritual and soulful methodology grounded in the pursuit of higher love and deeper purpose is both universal and highly applicable to all individuals regardless of their faith or religion.

Cancer Journey Coaching helps them, even and especially when times get rough. You will help them reach deep within to find a well of strength, clarity and peace as they heal their body, mind, and spirit. Most importantly, you will help them experience their cancer journey as a personal-growth and transformative adventure.

What we offer

OUR LEARNING MODEL


Experience it

At The Cancer Journey Institute, we don’t coach our clients through any process we have not first experienced ourselves. The course is designed so you experience the coaching process from the client perspective in tandem with learning the methodology, tools and concepts you will practice as a coach.


Learn it

Following your first weekend as a Cancer Journey Coach trainee you will be paired with a “Coaching Buddy” so you can practice the tools and concepts introduced each week. All “Buddy Sessions” will be conducted over the phone (or video conference.) With this methodology, you will integrate what you have learned into your life as well as your profession.


Live it

“Living it” will move you beyond integration. You will also expand your perception and accelerate your personal growth. Both are key components of Cancer Journey Coaching.

Testimonials

words from our community


This is a very experiential program that invites and supports you to dig deep into your own inherent strengths and power. By doing so, you not only facilitate change in others, but you yourself are changed for the better.

I developed a greater sense of what it means to be a coach and what coaching feels like from the inside-out and outside-in. I made some truly powerful connections with others as we learned and grew together. It has been life-changing.

Coaching is continuing to grow in popularity and becoming more the chosen path towards lasting change. I am so glad the tools of coaching have become adapted for those going through a cancer diagnosis...I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a student and graduate of this incredible program – thank you for bringing it into the world!

The Certification Program has been incredibly valuable. It builds on the Fundamentals course that I had the honor of participating in over the summer, which was rewarding, practical, and informative in its own right. In both programs, I expected to learn specific tools to support people living with cancer, and both programs have absolutely delivered. What I

didn’t expect was twofold:

First, the personal transformation. I enrolled to learn how to more skillfully help others navigate their cancer journeys, but I did not anticipate how much it would benefit me. No matter what emotions or intentions I bring to each session, I leave feeling seen, understood, and more capable of creating the life I want to live, right now. Learning and utilizing the tools in my own life has been impacting me and my relationships in powerful ways.

Which leads me to the second unexpected aspect of the certification course: the richness of community that has developed between me, my fellow coaches-in-training, and the instructors. Each week, no matter how we show up, by the end of the session it feels like a big, warm, hug from a group of people who love you, get you, and want to see you live your dreams. Together, we experience a full, dynamic range of emotions– joy, tears, and everything in between as we (lovingly) challenge each other to be more of ourselves, and live our deepest desires, right now.

This program is born from a spirit of service, and it is palpable. At the end of each weekly session, it’s common to hear someone say “wow, this stuff really WORKS”. We are not only coaches, but also clients in training.

“This was a transformational program. When I began I knew I had a vague calling to this work and a deep desire to learn more. I expected that I would acquire skills to help others with cancer but I did not expect to come to such a deep understanding and compassion around my own cancer experience. The tools and knowledge gained in this program stretched me and returned me to a more authentic version of myself. It was as much a stripping away of ideas and beliefs that no longer served me as it was an acquiring of new ideas. It is a beautiful program taught by highly skilled and compassionate guides.”

common questions from the heart

What if I've never coached before?

Our program welcomes both experienced coaches and those new to coaching. What matters most is your heart's calling to serve those affected by cancer.

How much time should I set aside each week?

Our weekly content sessions are 2 hours per meeting. Outside of our live sessions, we recommend 1-2 hours per week to fully embrace the journey and get in practice time with your buddy or a practice client. All sessions are recorded if you need to miss one.

Is this program recognized by the International Coaching Federation (ICF)?

Yes! The Certification Program is accredited by the ICF and can be used toward the training requirement for the ACC, PCC, and MCC credentials. At this time, the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches (NBHWC) does NOT accept Continuing Eduction Credits for this specific Program, they do however recognize the Fundamentals Program.

I can't attend the upcoming program, will you hold another?
