So many people ask me about my work regarding cancer, health, and healing.
Through my journey since diagnosed with a brain tumor almost 17 years ago, I quickly started on a quest. This has brought me into my purpose to serve.
Everyone has their own story. I was told about my own cancer when working in the U.S. Congress and with plans for law school. A few years later, I joined the cancer community with cancer non-profits, a consultant to the National Cancer Institute, and Food and Drug Administration. Ultimately I personally and professionally knew that I had to move beyond the disease and instead to focus on the whole person. Immediately I got a job at National Institute of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (formerly National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine). From there, further visions emerged and I started my own business called Healing Focus, and later Integrative Cancer Care for the Whole Person and Healing Focus® as a Cancer Coach, Writer, Consultant, and Speaker.
Here’s some scoop about what I do now in service.
Cancer Coach
I provide consultations to people with cancer and/or caregivers with extensive, individualized help through person-centered care support. As examples, we talk about engaging in actions, treatment decision-making, integrative cancer care therapies, self-care, conversations with doctors and providers, going through the journey, and much more. You can also watch an incredible video about my story and Cancer Coach here.
Writer and Consultant
From writing, researching, marketing, and delivering successful projects with innovative consulting perspectives, I’ve done it for non-profits, doctors, providers, various government agencies, the U.S. Congress, and many types of businesses.
Speaker
I’ve spoken to thousands of audiences in the United States and with requests abroad. Presentations vary, and have included my story, personal insights about cancer and integrative cancer care into optimal health and healing, experiences from many cancer patients, scientific research, transformation, and holes to the whole. I also customize speeches based on audience needs. You can watch incredible videos with some of my speeches here.
Healing comes from many sources and that is what I deliver. You can learn more about my work and explore much more of my knowledge about cancer and integrative cancer care for the whole person to improve quality of life, cancer survival, and cancer prevention.
