The Heal Program
HEAL
A 6-month, private coaching and emotional support program
for women experiencing a new or recurrent breast cancer diagnosis
-
HEAL Program DescriptionWhile your medical team is treating your cancer, we'll partner together to support, nurture, and heal the rest of you. If you are reading this page, I'm 99% certain it is because you have a breast cancer diagnosis. I don't know the details of your situation, medical or otherwise, and maybe you don't yet, either. Meeting with multiple medical providers, undergoing tests and more tests - all the steps to getting a final diagnosis and treatment plan in place take time. So, even though I don't know your exact circumstances, I do know this: You feel scared. Make that terrified. You are worried for your loved ones. You are worried for your survival. You are panicked over logistics. You feel sad. You feel angry. You are headed toward medical treatments that on many days will have you feeling like remnants of the dog's breakfast. And in the midst of sudden emotional upheaval, information overload, and seemingly endless decision making, you have become acutely aware of the big existential questions like life's meaning and purpose. When all you really want to do is spend your energy on the things that are precious, like: Your relationships. Creating even more memories with friends and loved ones. Your spirituality. All the other extraordinary things that make life meaningful and that you were out there enjoying before a diagnosis uprooted your world. I know these complicated and complex jumble of feelings. The fears. The moments of anguish. I've been there, too. And, I also know this: No matter your circumstances, There is healing to be had. It's not going to be happening in your medical appointments, but It can happen in the power of your hands, If you choose it. And I'd love to partner together to show you how. HEAL is a 6-month program of private coaching, personalized exercises, and emotional support sessions that nurture, guide, and empower you to heal from your cancer experience. It's an integrative blend of life coaching, mind-body, and other scientific concepts and tools that you will learn to use in your healing. In the HEAL program you will experience: Emotional Relief. You get a safe, supportive space to experience and process your feelings. All of them. Agency. You get to be at choice. You may not yet realize it, but YOU are the best person for making decisions that affect you. All of them. Empowerment. You will learn how to self-advocate so that you can teach others - including loved ones, friends, co-workers, even your medical team - how to show up for you. Resilience.You will learn how to face your fears with courage and curiosity so that you can maneuver within your reality instead of fight it. Purpose. You will be supported in navigating toward your best possible outcome. On your own terms, as defined by you. Connection with Self. You will learn how to become more deeply attuned to your inner wisdom. And learn to use it for your guidance and healing. Want to know more? See below for program details. A cure is in the hands of your medical team. The capacity to heal is held in yours.

Diagnosis of Friend or Loved One
The Harmony Program
HARMONY
A private, small group workshop to get you& your support team oriented and onto solid ground
I first met Ann at a career development retreat for life scientists, during which she – among other things – expressed a good dollop of resistance to a few things, one of which being the idea that her cancer wasn’t going to recur. She was absolutely convinced it was. You have to understand that this is what any person in an advanced life scientist career would realistically conclude about anyone’s cancer of that type. Given what I knew about it at the time, I silently agreed, even as I admired her self-awareness and honesty over the situation.
I remember one other point of resistance that came on a later development retreat, during a lunch break. Ann had been confronted with a mentor’s conclusion that she was destined to be a “healer” – that she was in fact just that, but was resisting expressing herself in that particular way. Ann transparently disagreed with that assessment. I thought this was ironic to say the least – a few of us did I think – and said something to that effect. That was all Ann needed to cast off decades of entrenched ideas about what we as individuals can and can’t do to heal; just a few words of encouragement (sort of) from someone she trusted. What I’ve witnessed – both up close and from a distance – from Ann has been nothing short of inspiring, bordering on miraculous.
She made personal progress in the workshops and retreats that came after that in leaps and bounds, quickly advancing to mentor status, while many of the rest of us languished in cycles incremental growth and/or stagnation, and greatly benefitted from Ann’s genuine gift for guidance and healing. Ann has an uncanny ability to pinpoint deep-level issues that hold us back, and communicate them firmly but compassionately: I’ve had conversations in airports with her that were more valuable than months of soul-searching on my own or with other mentors.
Ann’s cancer did eventually recur – unfortunately – but it’s how she responded to that that was most inspirational of all. I’m fully aware that it’s simply not within the realm of possibility for everyone to fight off a serious disease like that, but I’m equally convinced mindset can make a bigger difference than many of us realize. Ann’s mindset was to live life to the fullest, which for her entailed eschewing her full-time faculty job, moving to a beautiful place (or places), and delve fully into her personal coaching/healing practice…and her cancer has regressed! As a researcher who has seen amazing (if unpredictable) things with cancer immunotherapy, I’m convinced Ann has intuitively tapped into the vast potentiality of her own immune system to successfully combat her malady. The best coaches, mentors, and friends inspire us to meet and overcome our fears - and occasionally take huge risks in the process – to reap big personal rewards. In this respect, Ann not only talks the talk, but she walks the walk – and walks it very, very well.
There’s not much else I can say, except that Ann offers unique insight and inspiration to all she touches. She’s helped me navigate some of my biggest transitions to date, which included a major career change, house sale and cross-state move the same year my son was in and out of the hospital. I know I couldn’t have come through all that as well – or as sane – as I did without her guidance. She’s a true gem.
