Have you found yourself in the middle of Now What ?
Whether you've just heard the words, "You have cancer," or you're sitting in the thick of appointments and treatment, or you've technically 'made it through' but don't feel like yourself anymore...
This is a place to pause, exhale, and find steady ground.
Cancer changes
Everything
Cancer changes more than your body. It can shake your nervous system, your identity, and your sense of control.
Cancer is not just a medical diagnosis. It's a life disruption and changes the landscape of your life. Along with the physical impact, the weight of fear, stress, confusion, and overwhelm can all take a toll.
You don’t have to carry that alone.
You may feel on edge in your own body, unsure how to calm your thoughts, or worried about how to move forward when the ground feels unsteady.
And still, even here, there is room for support, steadiness, and hope.
The guidance I offer is called Life Reimagined. It's gentle, personalized, cancer coaching for women, that focuses on easing stress and overwhelm and supporting healing lifestyle changes for the mind, body, and spirit...one step at a time.
Hi and welcome
I'm Cynthia
I'm a certified cancer coach and ovarian cancer survivor.
I know how disorienting cancer can be-not just physically, but emotionally and mentally- at every stage of the journey.
I've found myself in the middle of Now What? a couple of times: a rare cancer diagnosis in 2014, and a recurrent, metastatic diagnosis in 2023.
I started Life Reimagined coaching to support, guide, and mentor women, like you, who are newly diagnosed, in treatment, facing a recurrence or rebuilding life after cancer. My goal is simple: to help you feel more grounded, supported, and capable of facing what's in front of you without losing yourself in the process.
COACHING PATHWAYS
There's no single right way to move through cancer, and no timeline you need to follow. The pathways below are simply different places to begin, depending on where you are right now.
Each pathway is designed to meet you where you are. Some women work with me through one pathway. Others continue as their needs change. We decide together, one step at a time.

HOW WE
Begin
Most women start with a complimentary "Now What?" conversation.
This is a safe, no-pressure space to talk about where you are, what you're carrying, and what kind of support would feel most helpful right now. You don't need to prepare anything or have the right words-just show up as you are.
During this conversation, we'll
-
talk about what you're navigating now
-
explore what's feeling most overwhelming or uncertain
-
look at which pathway might best support you at this moment
-
answer any questions you have about working together.
There's no obligation and no expectation to decide anything on the call. It is simply a place to be heard and see if this support feels like a good fit.
When you're ready, the next step is a conversation. We'l take this one step at a time.
WORDS FROM
Those I've walked with...
"I consider Cynthia Dano a blessing in my life. I am an ovarian cancer survivor, alive after a diagnosis in 2020.
Going through the life challenges of a cancer diagnosis, I confronted many issues I needed help with. What makes Cynthia so unique is her double certification, not only as a Radical Remission coach, dedicated to helping people access self-knowledge about the ten key factors of Radical Remissions, but also as a life coach. She has the ability to use whatever skill set will assist the client’s goals and desires. She can focus only on the ten key factors or expand to a life coaching approach. These combined skills suited me perfectly.
Cynthia has the ability to listen well and be aware of key moments, words or experiences that I used that pointed to areas of my life and feelings that needed deeper exploration. Many, I discovered, no longer served me well.
I highly recommend Cynthia Dano as a coach from the perspective of someone who has gained so much from our relationship."

Commonly asked
Questions
IS THIS THERAPY OR MEDICAL ADVICE?
No. I'm a certified cancer coach, not a therapist or medical provider. My work is a supportive, complementary, and forward-focused partnership. I help you navigate the emotional, mental ,and lifestyle impact of cancer by easing overwhelm, helping you implement healing habits, and helping you feel more steady and empowered. Coaching does not replace medical care-it complements it by supporting YOU as a person, not a diagnosis.
WHAT IF I FEEL UNSURE OF WHAT I NEED OR IF COACHING WILL HELP ME?
That uncertaintly is completely normal and one of the most common reasons women reach out. The complimentary "Now What? call is a space to talk things through without pressure. You don't need to have anything figured out. Clarity wil come.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A COACHING SESSION?
Each session is tailored to where you are that day. We may focus on calming the nervous system, talking through fear or uncertainty, exploring lifestyle changes, or clarifying next steps. Some sessions are reflective, others are more practical. My role is to support, guide, and offer tools, while honoring your autonomy, values, and pace. We decide together what feels supportive and realistic.
DO YOU USE THE RADICAL REMISSION APPROACH
Yes. I'm a certified Radical Remission coach and workshop instructor. My coaching is informed by the Radical Remission framework and healing factors and focuses on practical-research-backed lifestyle and mindset tools that support resilience and whole-body healing. For workshop information or to learn more about the healing factors, visit the Radical Remission Workshop tab in the navigation bar.
WHY IS YOUR COACHING SO INEXPENSIVE? MANY CANCER COACHES CHARGE $150+ AND HOUR.
Good question! While specialized cancer coaching typically does cost $150 or more per hour, I am in a season of my life where I am able to work for impact and purpose, not profit. In this way, I am able to give back and structure my retirement around making this work accessible. I know that a cancer diagnosis often comes with an unexpected financial weight. For me, it's not about the 'market', it's about making sure no one in the middle of 'Now What?' has to walk alone because of a price tag.
