Mission: You Can Thrive! provides free and low-cost holistic self-care model to help build healthier communities. Proceeds go back to give free services for those diagnosed with cancer when they need it most. The time has come to help our world be healthier through holistic services for the community at large. We facilitate a Mind/Body/Spirit focus to take the whole person "from surviving to thriving". Our proven innovative care model is facilitated in a safe space where community, trust, and peer support flourish. Corporate partners utilize our front-line infrastructure and proven model in their long-term wellness​ and self-care event initiatives to their employees with built-in social responsibility. Our replicable programs provide the strong leadership needed to move us from treatment of disease to prevention of it since 2005.

Results: Long term outcome data shows statistically significant results in reducing symptoms and improving overall well being within four weeks of starting our program. Results of our metastatic breast cancer retreat showed an even more significant decrease in primary and secondary symptoms and quality of life when participants were offered a seaside retreat and taken outside of their usual atmosphere. Larger study to follow. See our testimonials.
