Welcome to Cancer Social Club
when you become a member of a club that no one wants to join
Why Cancer Social Club?
My name is Leah, and I’m a naturopathic doctor and a registered yoga teacher. I am also a cancer survivor.
For ten years, I have worked as a naturopathic doctor in integrative cancer centers, supporting patients using natural and conventional therapies from the start of their treatment through survivorship.
I wanted to create a space where cancer patients, thrivers, survivors, and lifers would be surrounded by like-minded people going through similar situations. Where they could learn about integrative therapies like yoga, massage, and acupuncture. A place where they could gather, talk, laugh, and cry, but mostly talk and laugh, and maybe have a cup of tea or learn how to cook something healthy. As I figure out the logistics of how to make this dream a reality with four walls, I will first start online, where I found my tribe.
The Cancer Pod Podcast
The Cancer Pod came to be when my friend, Dr. Tina Kaczor, and I were looking to find ways to reach more people to teach them about integrative medicine and integrative oncology. We talk about all things cancer-related, but this isn’t just a show for previvors, cancer patients, and cancer survivors. Friends, family, and other caregivers will find the information pertinent. The podcast is now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and many other platforms, or listen below!
About Cancer Yoga Club
Research shows that yoga helps cancer patients and survivors manage treatment and cancer-associated symptoms and side effects and helps improve quality of life. Leah encourages incorporating yoga as an effective, low-cost cancer management tool.
Leah is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor trained in Functional Medicine, with board certification in naturopathic oncology, a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, and a breast cancer survivor. She brings nearly a decade of experience working in renowned integrative cancer centers. She is well-versed in the side effects of conventional cancer treatments and safely helps to guide patients through a therapeutic yoga practice.
In addition to her RYT credentials, she has completed additional certification in oncology yoga through y4c (Yoga4Cancer, y4c.com) and in yoga and meditation for the brain injury community through Love Your Brain Foundation (loveyourbrain.com)
