Cancer Care & Recovery Support

Cancer changes everything.

Even when treatment ends and the bell is rung, many people are left wondering, “Why do I still feel like this?”
Bodies feel unfamiliar. Energy is unreliable. Emotions surface unexpectedly. Relationships shift. And the structure that once held everything together suddenly disappears.

This is where I come in.

At Nurturing Shalom, I offer compassionate, practical, whole-person support for people navigating cancer—during treatment and long after it ends. It is my deep honor to walk alongside survivors and caregivers during one of the most vulnerable and courageous seasons of life.

Support that meets you where you are

Cancer recovery is not linear, and it is not just physical. Healing happens across many layers at once. My work integrates support for the body, nervous system, emotions, mind, and daily life, helping you rebuild from the inside out—at a pace that respects what you’ve been through.

I support individuals who are:

• Currently undergoing cancer treatment

• Newly finished with treatment and unsure what comes next

• Living months or years post-treatment and still not feeling “like themselves”

• Caregivers who are exhausted, disoriented, or ready to transition out of their caregiving role

• Survivors and caregivers learning how to renegotiate their relationship after cancer

What support can look like

Our work together may include:

Physical & Functional Recovery

• Gentle rebuilding of strength, balance, coordination, and mobility

• Support for fatigue, pain, postural changes, and movement confidence

• Strategies to help the body feel safer and more capable again

Nervous System & Cognitive Support

• Tools to support brain fog, memory challenges, and cognitive fatigue

• Nervous system regulation practices to support sleep, focus, and emotional steadiness

• Structured approaches to rebuilding mental clarity and resilience

Nutrition & Body Support

• Compassionate guidance for maintaining nourishing nutrition during and after treatment

• Support for appetite changes, digestion challenges, and energy needs

• Simple, realistic strategies that honor where your body is—not where you think it “should” be

Emotional & Relational Support

• Space to process the emotional aftermath of cancer—grief, fear, anger, relief, and everything in between

• Support navigating changing relationships with partners, family, friends, and work

• Guidance for survivors re-entering life and for caregivers redefining themselves beyond caregiving

Caregiver Support & Transition

• Support for caregivers who have been holding everything together

• Help transitioning out of crisis mode and back into a sustainable life rhythm

• Guidance for couples and families renegotiating roles after cancer

A steady guide for the “after”

I wrote my book, I Rang the Bell, Now What?!?, because I have seen—again and again—how many people are left without support once treatment ends. Survivorship is often treated like a finish line, when in reality, it is the beginning of a new phase of healing.

This book, and the work behind it, exists to answer the question no one prepares you for:
How do I live in this body and life now?

The book will be available in the new year, and this page reflects the heart of the support it offers: clarity, structure, compassion, and deep respect for the body’s wisdom.

My approach

I bring over two decades of experience in bodywork, nervous system care, trauma-informed support, and whole-person healing. I don’t believe anyone is broken. I believe bodies do the best they can to survive, and with the right support, they can learn to heal, adapt, and thrive again.

My role is not to rush you or fix you—but to walk with you, help you understand what’s happening, and offer tools that restore agency, confidence, and hope.

It is truly my joy and honor to support people through cancer care and recovery. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

If you’re reading this and feeling tired, uncertain, or quietly hopeful, you’re in the right place.

You don’t need to know exactly what you need yet. We can begin right where you are—with curiosity, compassion, and respect for everything your body and life have carried.

If you’d like support during treatment, in recovery, or in finding your way back into life after cancer, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
