About Jon Kessler
My Story
Hello! My name is Jon Kessler. I help those who are in the early stages of cancer treatment to feel empowered to thrive after their diagnosis and continue managing their full lives, maintaining financial stability and feeling like themselves again.
In July 2017, a tumor was found in my colon during my 1st colonoscopy at age 50. When I got the confirmation on the biopsy from the gastroenterologist, I went into survival mode. I found an oncologist and a surgeon as the next steps. I had surgery in September 2017 and the second biopsy confirmed that I did have Stage 3 colon cancer. What followed was 3 months of chemotherapy and by the end of 2017, I was done with the initial part of the treatment. For the past 4 years, I have continued my follow-up care as directed by my oncologist. This includes regular appointments, colonoscopies, CT scans, blood work, and diet. Although I had the love and support of my family and friends as I went through the diagnosis, surgery, and treatment, there was something missing. I did not have someone who understood what I was going through. The fear, anger, and other emotions I was dealing with. I had many questions that my loved ones could not answer nor help me face. Why did this happen to me?
The Process
What would my life be like during my treatment? Would there ever be a recurrence of cancer somewhere else in my body? How could I choose to live my life instead of in fear? In 2021, after years of working in the corporate world, I made the decision to become a Certified Life Coach with an emphasis on clients who were dealing with cancer in their lives. My practice takes a holistic approach to help you with managing your day-to-day life. I can work with you on many issues. What I have learned over the last couple of years is that we need to share our experience, strength, and hope with others. Arm them with the tools to face adversity and help them come out the other end stronger and more independent. My goal is to empower you to thrive physically, emotionally, and spiritually! I would be happy to speak with you about how my practice can help as you deal with your own cancer. Please feel free to either email me or call me.
