The Emotional Side of Cancer
Guiding You to Explore the Deeper Emotional Layers of your Cancer Diagnosis
Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Cancer Thriver
Who I Support
I work with people navigating cancer—supporting them emotionally by guiding them to exploring the deeper patterns that may be influencing their health.
This work is grounded, practical, and tailored to each individual situation.
The exploration of the emotions behind a cancer diagnosis are tied to everything you have ever experienced from the beginning of your life whether you were aware of it or not-the conscious and the subconscious.
All experiences good or bad are both emotional and physical. The physical is not separate from the emotional.
The foundation of the work I do with clients is on the basis that emotions are like balls of energy in motion.
When you experience an emotion such as anger, grief, sadness, even happiness. It is handled in two ways: it's either expressed and released or suppressed and stuffed down into the body. The positive emotions are usually easily expressed and released. But a lot of the time, what happens is that with the negative emotions, we don't feel safe to express them or share them and they get stuffed down into our physical body. This suppression over time can get us into trouble with our health and show up as dis-ease.
The opportunity to sit down together and explore your personal emotional landscape and everything that has happened to you can be such a important part of your healing journey. For many of us, we have never had the chance to take inventory of our lives until now. Facing a illness like cancer is often that opportunity because we are at a crossroads to perhaps look at our lives and choose differently.
Please note that doing this type of exploration does impede on any other healing modalities or treatments you choose.
What Working Together Looks Like
The first step is to start with a brief complimentary conversation. This allows us to connect, answer any questions and see if this approach is a good fit for you.
After that, we schedule the first session typically on videocall or in-person. Sessions are ideally one week apart as we progress.
During each session, together, we gently explore patterns, experiences, and internal responses that have shaped who you are—creating space for insight, understanding. Part of this work is to provide you with a safe space for you to share your unique story.
We typically work together over 5–6 sessions depending on your needs.
Sessions vary between 1-2 hours.
Kind Words from Clients
Dear Samira, I want to thank you from my heart for all the support and everything you've done. You came into our lives and honestly like an angel for my mom. I know you helped her so much yesterday to let go.

Why Work with Me
Hi I'm Samira!
I’m honoured to support you on your cancer journey.
This work comes from two core experiences: my own journey with cancer and my training as a mind-body cancer coach.
My work is fundamentally based on the concept that your body is always trying to move towards healing-even if you may not see it. When I work with you, we are looking at all the ways that we can support it physically, mentally and emotionally to get there.
