Julie Johns, a certified coach with the Cancer Journey, is now offering cancer coaching for patients, survivors and caregivers in the New York/Connecticut area. She also offers Panic to Powerful, a 90-minute workshop about moving through the cancer journey. “Whether you’re a patient, a survivor or a caregiver, cancer can change you in ways that you never imagined,” Johns says.

“Cancer is an invitation to journey inward,” she explains. “It’s an opportunity for personal growth and awakening. From this perspective, your body is speaking to you and your soul is calling you.” Cancer coaching can help those affected look beneath the surface and harness more of their power and beauty than they ever thought possible, she says. “How will you hold yourself through treatment? How will you support the physical treatment you’re choosing, with healing on all levels—including mental, emotional and spiritual? How will you hold yourself as a caregiver? If you’re a survivor, how will you deal with the shadow of cancer? How will you live today instead of ‘someday’? The only right answers to these questions are your answers.

Cancer coaching can help you slow down and listen, help you understand what your body is trying to tell you and the messages you are longing to hear.”

The goal, she says, is to move from “panic to powerful” and to find true healing by traveling a transformational journey.
