Sometimes when the cancer treatments end, the real journey in survivorship begins.

While working together, we’ll address your unique needs and goals through a comprehensive, personalized approach. With physical therapy, we can resolve physical and functional challenges, while my expertise as a certified lymphedema therapist supports effective management of edema for lasting results.

You’ve come through so much and now it’s time to go beyond simply surviving each day. It’s time to LIVE each day! This workshop is your space to rediscover who you are beyond cancer, reconnect with what matters most, and create a future that feels good – on your terms. Whether you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or simply ready for a fresh start, this is your invitation to reclaim joy, clarity, courage and yourself.

  • Clarify your personal vision for life after cancer

  • Anchor into your core values and authentic identity

  • Create actionable goals that align with your next chapter

  • Connect with a supportive community of women who “get it”

This workshop is for female cancer survivors who are ready to move from surviving to thriving, whether in treatment or completed. And don’t worry: You don’t need to have everything figured out – just a willingness to explore what’s next, and a desire to feel more joyful, grounded, and whole.

“Kathy at Empowering Wellness has helped me so much with healing from my breast cancer trauma.  The overall wellness from physical therapy for the cording to the lymphatic drainage has been phenomenal.  Oh yes! And the Pilates Class was strengthening and healing "~Kim
“Kathleen Pepper is the best, seriously without a doubt changed my life❤️” ~Susan

“Kathy Pepper is not only an EXTREMELY knowledgeable, highly educated professional in physical therapy, Pilates, personal training, and all around women’s health, but she is incredibly (can I say incredibly twice - that’s how much I want to stress this point) incredibly kind, understanding, supportive, and overall encouraging. Kathy listens and she will take as much time as you need to help you become the best woman you can be!

I started taking Pilates with Kathy over two years ago as I was struggling with osteoporosis.  I had worked out, but my bone density was getting worse, I needed help.  Kathy looked at my reports and knew exactly what I needed and what I needed to do.  Kathy was very clear,  not only with my Pilates program (she incorporated her knowledge of physical therapy into my Pilates program as she knew what a person with my condition needed to help gain the upmost performance in my Pilates) but what I should and shouldn’t do during my daily life (exercise, daily life activities, to even nutrition). She always is going that extra mile - not because she has to but because that is who Kathy is!   She is the best!!

After two+ years, I am happy/proud and so very thankful to Kathy to say that I’m stronger than ever before.  I can do so many things that I never dreamed I could physically do with my osteoporosis.  It was hard work, but Kathy was right there with me answering every question, even when I was unsure.  With Kathy’s kind, caring, reassuring, and encouraging words, instructions, and overall supportiveness  I did it and today I can honestly say, without a doubt, I would not be where I am today (stronger and even healthier) without Kathy! 

Kathy Pepper is a gem.   She is one you can trust that will absolutely do her very best for you!! “ ~Patti K
