Its network of certified health coaches deploys online and in-person cancer wellness and coaching programmes to individuals, medical facilities, insurance providers, and workplace wellness providers.
The Cancer Coach’s primary aim is to support, inspire, and empower others to take a more active role in their health and wellness. To further this goal, The Cancer Coach has several key initiatives planned for 2023. In January, the organisation will launch a new online on-demand anticancer lifestyle programme, Tree of Life. In June, it plans to release Re-Mission, its integrated wearable and AI service, in collaboration with Queen Mary University.
