View our Health Coaching for People With Cancer Training Flyer
Cancer is now affecting 1 in 2 people during their lifetime in the UK! People facing a cancer diagnosis have to cope with the initial shock and fear, a greatly changed sense of their future, a tough ‘illness journey’ choosing and facing their treatments and then, with the right support, an all-important ‘wellness journey’ to get them strong, positive and well protected and often into better health and wellbeing than ever before.
Dr Rosy Daniel has been one of the leaders of the holistic cancer help movement since joining the Bristol cancer Help Centre (now Peny Brohn UK) in 1985. She has helped thousands of people to transform the crisis of cancer into an opportunity to live a happier, healthier and more fulfilled life.
She now offers a series of Masterclasses to Health Coaches and Coach Trainees wishing to develop advanced skills to empower them to walk this loving journey alongside people with cancer so that they are fully supported and get the best outcomes possible, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Format – The next course will run over four morning sessions fortnightly between January and March, 2025 and includes 4 practice group sessions to apply your knowledge in a peer setting.
Course Aims
- To prepare the health coach to help people to face and cope positively with the diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment of cancer during their ‘illness journey’
- To provide the health coach with the skills and knowledge to help those with cancer set up an empowering self-help ‘wellness journey’ based upon evidence based practices
- To support the health coach to understand their own feelings and beliefs about cancer, death and dying and their need for active self-care when coaching people with cancer
