What is a Life Coach? As your biggest “cheerleader” let me meet you where you are on your cancer journey. Together we will explore your dreams and fears with empathy, humor and tools, creating a safe space for a future full of hope! – Heidi
Life coaching is a collaborative process that helps individuals clarify their goals, overcome obstacles, and create actionable plans to achieve personal or professional growth. Through guidance and support, life coaches empower clients to unlock their potential, enhance self-awareness, and make meaningful changes in their lives. It’s focused on the present and future, providing motivation and strategies to move forward with purpose.

Healing from Within – Beyond Cancer
2026-06-06 10:00 - 12:00 | Michelle’s Place, 41669 Winchester Rd Suite 101, Temecula, CA, 92590, United States
Healing From Within – Beyond Cancer is a mind-body workshop grounded in science and activated by you as a powerful participant in your healing and wellbeing. Every thought you think, every word you speak about your body, every image you hold of yourself sends a biological and energetic signal to every cell. This is not about positive thinking. This is documented science. And it is something you can access and use right now, at any stage of your journey.
In this two-session, four-hour workshop, you will discover your power and ability to shift the internal environment of your body. You will create personalized affirmations and active visualizations and learn to engage with your treatments and medication —as powerful allies. And you will leave with a personal toolkit of practices that are yours to use, refine, and return to for the rest of your life.
This program is intentionally structured as a two-session experience, and attendance at both sessions is required to receive the full benefit of the series.
Session Dates:

Part 1: Saturday, June 6th from 10am – 12pm
Part 2: Saturday, June 20th from 10am – 12pm

By registering, you are committing to attend both Day 1 and Day 2 sessions. Each session builds on the previous one, so participation in both is essential.
