Cancer Wellness
It’s an interesting juxtaposition and definitely two words you don’t see together often or perhaps even think about belonging together.
I’m changing that one client at a time.
You see, to me, “wellness” is not about perfection or some idealistic, unrealistic state. It’s about taking you where you are right now, even if you have a disease like cancer, and doing all that you can do to be as healthy as possible.
My Cancer Wellness program is designed to do just that-make you as healthy as possible, no matter where you are in your journey from recently diagnosed to a long-term survivor.

Cancer Recovery Program
My 6 month Cancer Recovery Program is the perfect “next step” once you have been released from treatment and/or physical therapy.
During our time together we will focus on 3 phases using my 4 M Method to Wellness: Meals, Movement, Mindset and a little “Magic” (not actual magic, but the magic in how it all fits together 😉 )
PHASE 1: re·fresh /rəˈfreSH/ give new strength or energy to; reinvigorate.
- Focused on rebuilding strength, mobility and flexibility
- Also focus on any limitations identified during your assessment
PHASE 2: re·store /rəˈstôr/ bring back (a previous right, practice, custom, or situation); reinstate.
- Focused on wellness with real-life solutions
PHASE 3: re·new /rəˈn(y)o͞o/ resume (an activity) after an interruption
- Focused on stepping forward with vibrance and confidence
