Health Coaching is defined by the National Society of Health Coaches as “the use of evidence-based skillful conversation, clinical strategies, and interventions to actively and safely engage patients/families/clients in health behavior change to better self-manage their health, health risk(s), and acute or chronic health conditions resulting in optimal wellness and recovery, improved health outcomes, lowered health risk and decreased healthcare costs.” (Source)

Cancer Health Coaching is an extension of Health Coaching that focuses on health goals related to a cancer diagnosis and help in navigating cancer care.

No. I am not a licensed physician or other provider and my role as your coach is to support you in your health journey, not tell you what to do. What I can do is work with you to understand instructions from your medical team and identify questions to ask your provider if you need more information. Your safety always comes first.

I can and will use my training as a Health Coach and the experience and observations I’ve gained over 14 years as an oncology nurse to help you identify reasonable goals and meet the challenge of caring for your health throughout cancer treatment. My focus is on empowering you through education. This mean educating you about your diagnosis, helping you understand the medical information you’ve been given and teaching you how to navigate the healthcare system. 

No, my service is not currently covered by insurance. Please contact me directly for a free consultation to talk about your situation and I will do my best to work with you.

How many times we meet is entirely up to you. Check out the Coaching Services page to see the session options.

Client Experiences in Navigating Cancer Care

"Blaine has provided an invaluable resource to our family through the initial shock following pancreatic cancer diagnosis and onward through many months of chemotherapy and then surgery. Though our medical team is world class, they inherently don’t have the time to help us through the ever-changing experience of side effects, medication management, and riding the immersive roller coaster of serious illness. Blaine has shepherded us through this very difficult chapter, patiently explaining the medical, clinical, and emotional aspects of the cancer landscape, including helping us make major decisions. Her deep well of knowledge and special flair for compassion and humor have helped us to feel much more supported and confident."
Robin C.Caregiver - San Carlos, CA
"Getting through treatment after being diagnosed with stomach cancer was overwhelming, but working with Blaine made all the difference for both myself and my husband. With her background as an experienced oncology nurse, she brought a deep understanding of the healthcare system, helped me make sense of my treatment options and made sure I felt confident in every decision I made. She was able to really explain complex medical information by breaking down the science in a way that was easy to understand, always making sure that we were comfortable before moving on. Blaine was a steady source of emotional support, helping us navigate not just the medical aspects of my care, but the mental and emotional challenges as well. She proactively focused on our individual needs, as well as, our relationship's health. We are incredibly grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone facing a cancer diagnosis."
Sandy S.Client - Seattle, WA
Blaine has been a gift to our family through the marathon ups & downs of cancer treatment. She brings the rare combination of high IQ & high EQ; the intellect and medical expertise to understand the complexities of this diagnosis and treatment AND the perceptiveness and agility to meet our family’s range of personalities. Her graceful pivoting between comprehensive in-depth explanations and highly distilled “most important points” depending on needs has been an especially helpful advanced skill 🙏 Blaine’s grounded assertiveness has steered us through information overload and helped us make big medical decisions—and her graciousness and levity have noticeably “brightened the room”. I can’t over-emphasize the value of that combination. Huge thanks to you Blaine, from all of us.
