Mind-Body Connection

From the outside people think that once the surgeries are done and the treatments are “over” that you are “good now;” that your new normal has begun, and it’s something you slip easily into like a favorite pair of jeans. Unfortunately, this is often the farthest thing from the truth.

Breast cancer changes not only your physical body but the mental and emotional ways you connect with it as well. Establishing practices that create the opportunity to care for and feel whole in yourself, even the parts that look and feel different, can be the catalyst to moving from feeling disconnected and betrayed by your body to a deeper level of understanding, trust, and self-love.

The Self-Care Education class combines scientific information with mental and emotional practices and as hands-on skills to create a variety of self-care rituals that move you towards healing.

The Process

  • While you might feel you need more than one of these sessions, start with the one that either feels like the most attainable for the fastest win OR the one that really weighs on your mind so that you can start the process of healing that area.

    Each Informed Self-Care Coaching Session focuses on one of the following areas of recovery and healing:

    ⟢ Lymphedema Risk Reduction and Management

    ⟢ Scar Tissue Release for Comfort and Appearance

    ⟢ Building or Strengthening the Mind/Body Connection

    Each focus area is tailored to your needs based on your individual experience with breast cancer.

  • Based on your chosen class topic, and your experiences and goals, we talk through a variety of education and skills that you can use to facilitate healing.

    Sessions include practical information, tools, and resources, including demonstrations of hands-on techniques and the opportunity for questions and answers.

    What you learn in your session will be the foundation of establishing a self-care practice that you can use now and throughout your survivorship, when and as you need.

  • Knowledge is power! Education and information is at the core of your self-care practice. Not only understanding the what and the how of self-care but the WHY as well.

    This is what allows you to make informed decisions in your life about your activities and health as you become more familiar and confident with your body, what it needs, and how to care for it, as you are now.

    To support and reinforce your self-care practice I provide you with a tailored, comprehensive workbook, containing graphics, reference materials, and a link to your recorded coaching session, arriving in your inbox within 72 hours.

  • You have the knowledge, you have the skills, and now you get to take action.

    Your self-care practice is just that - a practice. Whether you try a little every day or as you feel you need it, this is something that will become more comfortable and consistent with time and practice.

    Breast cancer recovery and survivorship is complex and multifaceted so give yourself the grace and space to take things at your own pace. Work in what you can when you can and you will see and feel the results through your progress.
