When Founder Marlene Adelmann received her cancer diagnosis, she was shocked at how difficult it was to find trusted, research-backed information for holistic cancer support. Traditional cancer treatments are explained at every major hospital, but what about supportive herbs and mushrooms? Nutritional considerations? Mindfulness practices to help manage the new influx of stress? Where’s the heartfelt advice for how to ask your doctor about holistic options or navigate working with multiple practitioners? Information related to holistic cancer care is hard to find, and it’s unfortunately even harder to know whom to trust.

In honor of Marlene and her newfound friends in the cancer community, we’ve combined clinically backed research with thoughtful guidance from holistic cancer practitioners and doctors, integrative nutritionists, experienced clinical herbalists, and compassionate caregivers so you can replace research with rest. Take a deep, reassuring breath knowing that you have a robust collection of holistic cancer resources in one easy-to-access location.

This online, self-paced course is designed for learners of all skill levels and is thoughtfully infused with clinical research, time-tested herbal recipes, videos with medical professionals and holistic cancer experts, beautifully illustrated charts, helpful downloads, and more. No matter where you are on this difficult road, there is hope and you are not alone.

We want to make sure that as many people as possible have access to the Holistic Cancer Care Course, which is why we are offering a sliding scale payment option! While we’d love to offer it for free (please opt in to our free Held in Hope Cancer Series), the reality is that it’s very costly to create programs like this and to keep our organization up and running. Sliding scale payment allows more people to access this program who wouldn’t otherwise be able to, because costs are balanced by those who have the resources to pay at the higher end of the scale. Sliding scale payment is available to everyone, no questions asked—it’s up to you to determine what feels fair and accessible to you. If you’re not sure, check out this graphic by Alexis J. Cunningfolk to help you understand the intention behind the sliding scale.
