The Coaching membership every Cancer Survivor needs!

Today I’m going to walk you through my cancer survivors framework

- The KC Blueprint

Working 1:1 with cancer survivors and chatting with those of you in my community on Instagram & Facebook has really shown me where the gap in support in your treatment journey is, how I can fill that, and what you really need.

If you haven’t read my posts before - I’m Kirsty, I’m a Cancer Exercise specialist, nutritionist and I’m also known as the anti-overwhelm coach.

I know that oncology teams and cancer specialist nurses are fantastic, but when active treatment ends - so does your support. Like literally drops off a cliff edge and you’re left wondering what to do because your side effects are still very active.

Naturally you’re then drawn to the internet to look for advice and wow is that a scary place to be! So much fearmongering and misinformation, everyone claiming to be an expert - how could you possibly know what to believe?

So I built the KC Blueprint as the framework you need - breaking down all the BS online, stripping back the overwhelm and working with you to build a lifestyle that works with you to get you stronger, fitter & healthier.

I work 1:1 with clients to do this currently but I know that isn’t accessible for everyone. And when a client told me about someone they were chatting to on a chemo day who was feeling lost, didn’t know what was safe to do and wasn’t in a position to pay for 1:1 coaching even though she felt she needed it - I knew I had to build another way forward to help more of you to access the support you need.

I chatted with lots of you online and asked for your input, I got great feedback from the free workshop that I ran, and it showed me what your most common struggles were.

So I built The KC Blueprint,

• With a mission to help you take the overwhelm out of recovery, find a community of supportive action taking cancer survivors who were feeling just like you, and show you how to build this lifestyle you need safely, without extremes and with an understanding of the volatile nature of pain & fatigue post treatment.

• In fact not just show you, but build it with you. I will be actively coaching you, this is not a ‘download an app & off you go’ kind of programme, because the bit many of you struggle with is accountability, knowing when to push through and when to pull back, knowing what is safe for you.

And that is what makes my coaching different.

I have built it specifically for cancer survivors.

From feedback and experience with cancer survivors.

I understand the impact the treatments have on you physically & mentally.

I know that no 2 days are the same.

I know your fatigue and pain is likely worse when you have a scan coming up or an appointment and I can show you how to deal with that better so it takes less toll on you.

I know that exercise can reduce your risk of recurrence by over 33%

My training that I did to become a cancer exercise specialist opened my eyes to the deeper physiological impacts that I now am able to help you with on a much higher level.

And because I’m also a nutritionist, and have worked with people with chronic pain & fatigue for a good few years now - I can put it all together to help you in a full circle approach, not just trying to improve everything from 1 angle.

So I’m going to break down the framework a little so you know what to expect.

Month 1 is a higher support month which is why there is a difference in price for your first month

All details of the pricing is on my website

We’ll be working through the 4 bricks that build the foundations of your new lifestyle.

• Exercise, Nutrition, Lifestyle, Mental Health

• You’ll have a weekly check in which is the golden ticket in my coaching. It’s where we review, tweak & plan to ensure you make progress, enjoy the process and find a way of adding to your life that works for you.

• Adding strength, adding protein & fibre to your diet, adding time outdoors, adding routine & structure - all of which make life easier as we build the right system for you.

• You’ll have a workout programme with structured exercises that are specifically beneficial for cancer survivors

• You’ll have nutrition guidance and we’ll look at how to make simple meal preps, adapt to appetite changes whilst still fuelling yourself well, and we’ll set flexible targets.

• You’ll have a welcome call as a group and another group call before we move into month 2; plus a group whatsapp for community - as you will all be able to support each other too with your lived experiences.

  • This will be kept as a safe space that doesn’t become overwhelming or bombarding. You contribute what you can, and take what you need.

Month 2 is where we focus on putting everything into practice, playing with routines, cementing habits and building on your progress.

• You’ll move to a fortnightly check in from here out, as you become more self accountable, with a weekly Q & A in the group community and continued support in there throughout.

• You’ll have a group monthly call to strengthen your community, we’ll further discuss any common struggles or topics that are coming up for you all and give you a chance to discuss anything you need to.

Now a couple of things I know you might be thinking - a common one being you’re already too tired so how on earth would you then add all of this in, right?

• The truth is that this will increase your energy & improve your fatigue - that is something I will guarantee for you

  • I don’t make guarantees often, but if you follow the blueprint and take action and reach out to me when you’re struggling, use the first month to really dig deep - this will change your life for the better without a doubt

• It’s not a ‘no pain no gain, push through’ gym programme. It is about building your energy, adapting your diet to support you better and improving your lifestyle. You’ll feel & move better, PLUS reduce your modifiable risk factors for recurrence.

• Another one is the cost of investing in yourself. I know that can feel scary, I know that you may have tried plans before, but as I said earlier this is not just a DIY guide to follow along. This is support & coaching, breaking down overwhelm and actually making sure you take action. The cost of inaction is high.

  • You are also not tied into a contract with me. I will strive to make this continually valuable so you WANT to stay. So you will be seeing & feeling so much better that you see how important and worthwhile your investment is. But you are free to leave whenever you like with a 2 week notice period after your 2nd month

• Also remember - once you get going this will save you so much time in your week too. Meals prepped, plans organised, structure and routine added - but always with flexibility for pain or fatigue.

You can start this whether you are on active treatment, you’ve finished active treatment, or you’re in long term recovery and still struggling with side effects.

The workouts are all adaptable and flexible, there is mobility as well as strength, and all you need to be ready for is to take the first step and I will guide you through the higher support first month.

You can also buy an add on of a 1:1 Coaching call at any point after your first month, where we can sit & go through things in more detail for you, and you can also upgrade to a personalised 1:1 coaching programme if you feel that would work better for you.

I open spaces every other month and they will be limited to ensure I get to know each & every one of you, and can help you build your stronger, fitter, healthier lifestyle.

There is no perfect time to start - remember that ready is a feeling - you choose to be ready.

All the information you need is here on my website

And you can join the waiting list here - this is so you can apply at any time & I’ll be in touch about the next intake (these are every other month)

This is my whatsapp so you can message me with any questions you may have.

I am so excited to see you in the Blueprint and help you move forward!

Speak soon!

Kirsty 😊
