Empowered at Home: Breast Cancer Medication Coaching
Managing breast cancer treatment at home — especially when you’re taking oral oncology medications — can feel overwhelming and isolating. Questions often come up once you leave the clinic: Am I taking this correctly? Is this side effect normal? How do I fit this into my daily life? You don’t have to navigate these moments alone. This coaching service is designed to support people living with breast cancer who are taking oral cancer medications and managing treatment at home. Through personalized, one-on-one medication coaching, you’ll receive compassionate, practical support to help you understand your treatment, build sustainable routines, and feel more confident in your care between appointments. Together, we’ll focus on making your medication routine clearer and more manageable. Coaching may include support with understanding how your medications work, developing routines that fit your daily life, navigating side effects and concerns, and addressing challenges like forgetfulness, uncertainty, or feeling overwhelmed. You’ll also be supported in building confidence, asking questions, and communicating effectively with your healthcare team. This service is grounded in evidence-based guidance and delivered in a supportive, judgment-free space. Coaching does not replace your healthcare provider, it complements your medical care by helping you feel more prepared, informed, and empowered to manage your treatment at home. Whether you’re newly starting oral therapy or navigating ongoing treatment, this coaching service offers a steady, compassionate partnership — so you feel supported, confident, and less alone throughout your breast cancer journey.

All of our coaches are National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coaches (NBC-HWCs), which is the highest credential in the field of health and wellness coaching. You're scheduling with coach Sonja E., our Head of Coaching Operations here at Vaalia!
What will we talk about?
Each of our coaches are highly skilled in supporting cancer patients across all aspects of wellbeing (physical, mental, emotional, social, intellectual, occupational, spiritual, and financial).

This looks different for every patient, and your coach is here to support you in figuring out your unique goals.
