Cancer-informed health coaching
Well Beyond Cancer with Anna Blair
For life after treatment, when the support drops away but the challenges don't.
Welcome
Finishing treatment can sometimes feel like falling off a cliff.
The appointments stop, the visitors stop coming and everyone assumes the hard part is over. But you're tired and anxious about recurrence. You're worried about your return to work, or wondering who you even are now that "normal" has changed.
I’m a cancer-informed health coach and a two-time cancer survivor. I work with people who have finished treatment and want to move forward but need support to do it. Together we build back your energy and your confidence, one practical step at a time.

Treatment is over. Life isn't back to normal
You’ve finished treatment, so on paper things should be settling down. However, the fatigue hasn’t lifted and the fear sits in the background. Meanwhile everyone expects you to feel grateful and “back to yourself”, when you’re not sure who that is any more.
does this sound familiar?
- Exhausted, and wondering why you don't feel “better” yet
- Anxious about recurrence and struggling to trust your body again
- Under pressure to return to “normal” life but not sure who you are in it anymore
- Feeling unseen, by the people around you and, at times, by the medical world too
What is cancer coaching?
Practical, personal support for life after treatment
Cancer coaching is practical, personal support for life after, or alongside, cancer treatment. Your medical team looks after your body. A coach helps you find your feet again.
.Together we work on what matters most to you, whether that’s managing fatigue and anxiety or working out who you are after cancer. The aim is a daily life that feels steadier and more your own.
Sessions are structured, and you set the pace and the direction. Coaching isn’t a substitute for medical care or therapy.
Common questions
A few things people often ask
What can cancer coaching help with?
Practical support with life after treatment: fatigue, brain fog, sleep, eating well anxiety about recurrence and going back to work. We focus on small changes that add up.
Who is it for?
People who have finished treatment and feel stuck. You may be exhausted, or unsure who you are now that “normal” has changed. There’s no right time to start. Some people come weeks after treatment, others years.
How is it different from medical care?
Your medical team treats your cancer and looks after your body. Coaching deals with the daily life around it, the habits and decisions that help you feel like yourself again. It works alongside your care and isn’t a substitute for medical care or therapy.

She helped me streamline my chaotic thinking style, and was there for me every step of the way. I trusted her, and was able to implement positive changes and even start college.
When I received some slightly stressful medical news, Anna helped me think it through and make an initial achievable plan to get started on dealing with it.
