Hi!  I am a 10 year BC survivor and went through a double mastectomy, chemo, radiation, and 6 surgeries.  Over the years I have battled numerous short and long term side effects, anxiety and the emotional impact of worrying about a recurrence, and have spent long hours doing research and addressing my physical and mental health to be as healthy as I can be.  I offer breast health coaching for anyone interested in working on topics such as; diet & nutrition, vitamins & supplements, movement & exercise, detox, sleep optimization, hormones, and more.  I also offer a Free monthly on line meeting where I address different topics related to breast health and a Free one on one 30 minute discovery call for anyone interested in learning more about my coaching services.  www.BreastHealthCoach.com ...
