Hello!
I'm Catherine
A cancer coach on a mission to help women worldwide gain control over their health and their lives.
Iām here to defy the narrative of fear and hopelessness that is often imposed on cancer patients.
I have been where you are today...
THE SELF-DESTRUCTIVE STATUS-QUO Letting stress run the show
Just like many women in their 30s, I thought juggling a million things a day was normal. Work life. Married life. Household life. Mom life. Social life.
I was stressed. Burnt out. Overwhelmed. Tired. In physical pain. But I thought it was normalā¦
In fact, I thought a little stress was even good for me: it kept me aiming for greater things. Things I thought I wantedā¦ Like managing 100s of people at work. Or being the āperfect wifeā, and the āperfect momā.
Little did I know that the reward and recognition I expected from being all-the-things would lose the race against something bigger ā something I couldnāt control: cancer.
MY WAKE-UP CALL An unexpected cancer diagnosis
When you walk into the doctorās office for a checkup and walk out with a cancer diagnosisā¦ Your life changes forever.
That day, time stopped as soon as I heard the words: āYou have two tumors and unfortunately, theyāre malignant.ā
After the shock was over, I entered an emotional rollercoaster. Fear, pain, anger, guilt, shameā¦
And even though I had a million questions in my mind, (Does this mean Iām going to die? Who can I talk to? How will this impact my life? Why me?) the only one that could give me an answer that would help was buried in the back of my mind:
āWhat if this isnāt the enemy that you think it is? What if thereās something I can learn from this experience?ā
Deep down, I knew that I had, in a way, done this to myself. I had stayed in an unhealthy job. In unhealthy relationships. Always putting myself last.
My body had given me signals, but I had flat-out ignored them. Now, I couldnāt stick my head in the sand any longer.
My cancer diagnosis forced me to take a deep look at myself. And what I found changed my life.
CANCER, MY BEST FRIEND Healing became my purpose
After seeking out coaches, associations, doctors, and therapists, and learning about the 5 pillars that keep us healthy, I not only healed from cancer ā I transformed my life. It took me years, but it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
When people started asking me for help in following my footsteps, I knew I had found my purpose. I had to empower others the same way I had empowered myself but in a shorter time span.
Thatās why I became the Online Cancer Coach. In my practice, I help women battle cancer and embrace life like never before once theyāve defeated it.
10+ years ago, I took the wheel of my own life and Iāve been cancer-free ever since. I'm now inviting you to do the same.
You have the unique opportunity to rewrite your lifeās story. And Iām here to coach you through it with:
compassion.
I donāt expect you to become your strongest, most resilient self from one day to the next.
There is no ātough loveā with me. Iām here to help you, not scold you.
EMPOWERMENT.
Knowledge is power.
Iām not here to make decisions for you. Iām here to educate you and grant you decision-making power over your health and life.
openness.
Curiosity and open-mindedness are the first steps to seeing things in a different light.
And thatās the first step to prevention, recovery, and true healing.
respect.
I will never try to influence or criticize your choices, thatās not me!
I respect my clients, so I will respect your journey from the first to the last day we work together.
POSITIVITY.
Your cancer journey can be a lot lighter and easier than you think.
Iām here to help you inject some hope and positivity as you go through this challenge.
ACTIVE LISTENING.
Sometimes, all you need is to feel seen and heard, judgment-free.
Our sessions will be a confidential, safe space for you to freely express your thoughts and emotions
