About Cindy
As a Survivor Coach, I understand the emotional, physical, and spiritual changes that occur with a cancer survivor because I am one. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer when I was 47. I understand the life “before cancer” and the life “after cancer” are very different. I thought after I was done with treatment my life would return to normal – it did, but I found out I was different. I wasn’t sure what to do next and felt like I was lost in my own life.
I have learned a great deal on my journey after treatment. I understand that there is no magic wand that gets waved and makes everything ok. It takes courage and determination to move forward in your life. Once I was ready to go after what I wanted I felt like I was beginning my second half or starting a second chance at life. I became a Survivor Coach and partner with other survivors to help them transition from a patient to a survivor and pick up the pieces and determine what is next for them in their life. I will help you find clarity and chart the direction to live the life you choose, with no regrets.
As your Survivor Coach, I will create a supportive environment that is confidential and safe. I will continuously demonstrate personal integrity, honesty and sincerity and provide ongoing support. I will be your champion to engage your strengths and passion and hold your vision to create the life you choose.
As my client, I see you as someone that has unlimited potential to create and go after what you want. I will challenge you to take the time to focus on what you really want and help you recognize and break through what is holding you back from manifesting success, in however you measure success. Together, we will determine the necessary steps and hold you accountable for taking action to achieve those goals.
Together, we make a powerful alliance that will lead you to live the vision of your success. Imagine living your life full of passion and purpose, what would that be like for you? Contact me today and partner with another cancer survivor who is committed to your success!
