Find a Certified Cancer Coach

Connect with a coach trained to walk alongside you — at any stage of your cancer experience.

Cancer changes the rhythm of everyday life. A certified cancer coach is a wellness professional trained to help you find your footing — emotionally, physically, and practically — through diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, or caregiving.

Each coach listed here has completed an evidence-based cancer coaching certification and meets the Cancer Wellness Institute's standards for ethical, scope-aligned practice. They are independent professionals, not employees of CWI. You'll work with them directly to determine fit, scheduling, and fees.

What a cancer coach can help with

Emotional well-being, anxiety, and the mental load of diagnosis or treatment
Nutrition, movement, and lifestyle adjustments that support recovery
Managing treatment side effects and the transition into survivorship
Navigating relationships, work, and identity after cancer
Building resilience and routines that fit your real life
Caregiver support and prevention-focused coaching

A cancer coach is not a substitute for medical care, mental health treatment, or oncology nutrition. Your coach will work within their scope and refer you to clinical providers when appropriate.
