What the heck is a cancer doula?
Think of me as your personal patient advocate and educator.
As an 11-year cancer thriver, I use my experience to serve as a partner and expert navigator by helping my clients navigate their cancer journey and ensure they are not overwhelmed, crippled by fear, discouraged, and alone.
My support and guidance allow my clients to focus on healing physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Therefore, creating a better outcome and quality of life that they desire.
