ABOUT KATHRYN

ABOUT KATHRYN

I was 43 years old when my world came crashing down around me

Years of too much stress and not taking care of myself led to a diagnosis of Stage 4 Colon Cancer. To say that I was scared is an understatement. I was terrified. I decided right then and there that cancer was not going to stop me. I still had a whole life to live. What I needed to do was accept what was happening and do everything I could to beat it. And I DID!

As a cancer survivor, I am deeply passionate about health and wellness. Prior to cancer I thought I was living a healthy lifestyle; little did I know that I had so much more to learn.

After completing treatment and getting my health back I dug deep into nutrition and mindfulness to help me heal my body, mind, and spirit.
Healing is an ongoing process. It is a beautiful opportunity to reinvent yourself and live the life you want to live.

I have learned that every day is a gift.

I became a Certified Holistic Cancer Coach in 2021 so that I could help women living with a cancer diagnosis to move from just surviving day to day to thriving in life.

I am so happy you are here to learn more about how I can help you.

You can do this, together we can do this.

Exploring the Body, Mind and Spirit

I knew there was something missing in my healing process and needed to uncover that piece; becoming a yoga teacher was that next piece. I created a space for yoga and mindfulness in my business to support my cleints.

2018

Reclaiming my life started with rebuilding my body. I took nutrition training and started my first business to share what I learned with other women trying to heal their bodies.

I Wrote a Book

In my desire to share my message thriving with cancer I wrote my first book and shared it with the world. This guide to living with cancer expanded the reach to others looking for connection and community.

2024

To reach more people and provide support the Living to Thrive with Cancer Podcast was created. Designed to share real life lessons, the podcast talks about the day in and day out stuff that come from living with cancer.

Discovered My Purpose

This was where I discovered my purpose to guide other women along this path to living with and healing from cancer.

The desire to teach and support called me to becoming a Certified Holistic Cancer Coach.

Kathryn's knowledge and personal experience and well earned victory with her own journey with cancer was and is an invaluable [coaching] resource.

The body truly has been created to heal itself given the PROPER tools. This part of my journey included a change in diet!  It has made all the difference.

My life has been changed by working with Kathryn. We began with changing what and how I was eating. After getting my digestive 
health back on track we began working on stress reduction and organization. Kathryn's knowledge of why we need to live a healthier 
lifestyle comes through in all aspects of her teaching.

My life has been changed  by working with Kathryn.

I have known Kathryn for years through her years as a teacher. When I needed some assistance dealing with a diagnosis I reached out to her again. We spent 3 months speaking weekly and I learned so much from her. She has an ability to connect with grace and humility that is contagious. As women we have been trained to put others first but  I’ve learned we need to take care of ourselves first then we can thrive and take care of others. Asking for help was the first step. The resources she shares are excellent and I still refer to them today. I would highly recommend Kathryn to anyone in need of support in the wake of a diagnosis

Asking for help was the first step.

Kathryn was a lifeline when I was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. She listened, really listened while I talked about my journey, people’s reactions and my fears.
As a cancer survivor, Kathryn understands the cancer journey in a way most people can’t. She provided me with nutritional information that helped me to prepare for and heal from surgery and subsequent 
radiation treatments.
Kathryn is an amazing Cancer Coach and I would recommend to anyone that has been diagnosed with cancer (or anything else!).

Kathryn understands the cancer journey

Kathryn White is such a positive, open, welcoming person, who creates a safe space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. I immediately felt 
comfortable with her, and we quickly established a connection. Kathryn makes that happen, as she does not judge; she holds space for you, no  matter what you are feeling or thinking.
I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and since Kathryn is a survivor of stage 4 colon cancer, I felt like she really understood where I was coming from, because she had been there. Although I have friends 
and family to talk to, it made a difference talking to Kathryn... she felt it, and understood it, right to her core.
