"I gained important knowledge about my habits through this program, as well as how to work toward my goals. The program isn't just about accomplishing goals in 12 weeks, it's focused on how to accomplish goals beyond the coaching program. I feel like I have tangible tools I can use to focus on and improve my health long-term." – 2025 Resilient Me Client

Of those, 93% reported improved health in at least one program area, and 100% found their coach effective, reported the program had a positive impact in their lives, and recommend the program to others. See below for some of our testimonials.
"This coaching program is one of, if not the most, important health recovery tools I've experienced in my cancer journey, and they somehow made it fun. The program builds self awareness, and helped me identify and set goals I cared about. Services were provided with compassion and great competence with the coaching sessions becoming a highlight of my week. The program brought meaningful and sustainable change, leading to better sleep, less stress and greater clarity about what mattered to me. I cannot recommend this program more highly."
"Your world and identity shifts when you are diagnosed with cancer and when treatment ends, you can feel that you are a boat without a sail or rudder and not clear of the direction to the nearest port. Coaching with Zero Breast Cancer allowed me to drop into who I am actively becoming after my breast cancer experience, and do it intentionally. I had support to create my new life and what I wanted it to look like."
"Being part of the Resilient Me coaching program was truly life-giving. Having someone support me and check in regularly helped me stay grounded and focused on my wellness goals. It wasn’t about being perfect—it was about showing up for myself with compassion. I felt heard, encouraged, and empowered to make small changes that added up in a big way. If you’re thinking about joining, know that you’re not alone, and this program can be a beautiful step toward taking care of yourself—mind, body, and spirit."
"I really, really enjoyed being understood and accepted without judgment. My coach showed a very sensitive and caring manner, and always helped me reveal core issues in a safe and helpful way. I made a lot more progress with my coach in 12 weeks than I have with anyone else that I counseled with for the last 40 years."
“Having a health coach allows me to reflect on my health and well-being, articulate my priorities and to set realistic goals. It also has helped me feel accountable in moving forward with my goals.”
“The program has given me the opportunity to focus on my mental and physical well being with my own personal guide. It's been fun and enlightening and I feel that I'm actually developing some good habits that will stay in place when I've finished the program. It's easy to talk about what you would like to do to improve your health and well being, but when you have a professional that can help to guide you towards realistic goals and make suggestions along the way, your chances for a real success have improved!”
“To be honest, I wouldn't change a thing. It was one of the best things I've done and it was done so well.”
“I really, really loved this. I didn't always want to fit it in, but it was always so beneficial when the session was over. I feel very grateful. My life has significantly changed for the better.”
“The health coaching program has been an impactful way to help me make small, positive, and impactful changes through all areas of my life. It can be overwhelming making lifestyle changes but it’s very doable with a health coach!”
“These coaching sessions are very positive and impactful to help me focus on and enhance my self-care. I look forward to the sessions each week with my coach and appreciate my coach pulling out things that I think about but asking me how I will go about bringing those things to life.”
“My knowledge continues to expand as I navigate new normals. This program helps me to prioritize myself in this healing process as life continues in survivorship. My coach helps with eliminating the noise that surrounds us all the time and bringing focus back to my health and priorities. And as simple as it sounds, it’s actually really hard, and my coach has been a tremendous and stable health ally to help me stay the course and adjust when needed while also reminding me to give myself grace and patience. It’s been wonderful!”
“Making time for health goals is critical for anyone recovering from chronic disease. I loved working with a health and wellness coach to get serious about new habits and behaviors and to be accountable.”
