Kinetic Coaching & Nutrition
Cancer Exercise & Nutrition Specialist
Cancer Exercise, Nutrition
& Lifestyle Coaching
Personalised coaching support for people living with and beyond cancer
It’s completely normal to feel unsure about exercise during and after cancer treatment, especially when your pain and fatigue feel overwhelming, and there's so much conflicting and confusing information being thrown at you from every direction.
I break down all this information into a personalised programme, built around your treatment stage, symptoms, current ability, and longer-term goals in mind.
No extreme diets, no drastic life overhauls, and no strict regime that you are expected to follow, no matter how you feel.
Who is this for?
Anyone who is newly diagnosed, going through active treatment, recovering from surgery or living with longer term treatment.
I'll help you to manage and improve your treatment side effects - reducing pain, fatigue and deconditioning; and improving your fitness, strength, and mental wellbeing.
How do I do it?
- This may look like a lot, but we break it down into manageable steps that meet you where you are now.

Exercise, Nutrition, Sleep, Stress, Lifestyle and mental wellbeing.

Why trust me to support you on this journey?
I use my background in counselling and mentoring alongside my qualifications and empathic nature to fully tailor every client's programme. I adapt my coaching in line with current guidelines and new evidence and I learn from every client I work with to continue evolving & improving my coaching.
How much is it?
£200 per month
How long is it?
I always recommend a minimum of 3 months to learn and build habits and routines that you can stick to and know how to adapt when needed; however you are not tied in to a fixed term contract.
What the evidence shows:
-
Exercise during and after cancer treatment can reduce risk of recurrence by over 33%
-
Being active through treatment improves quality of life, mood, and treatment tolerance.
-
Strength training and staying active helps to reduce your treatment side effects.
-
Strength and mobility training support long-term recovery and help you get back on your feet quicker post treatment.
This is not a guarantee, and the evidence varies by cancer type, treatment and individual circumstances. My coaching complements; not replaces; the advice and treatment provided by your healthcare team.
