About Shariann Tom:
Shariann Tom is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Cancer Journey Institute (CJI), the nation’s first cancer coaching training organization. Her life was transformed after she experienced two turning points: surviving four bouts of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and one bout of a Gastric Intestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) and making life coaching her profession.
The profound contrast between facing cancer without a coach and embarking on a cancer journey with a coach by her side inspired Shariann to start a movement dedicated to cancer patients, caregivers, and survivors. She believes that everyone facing cancer would benefit from having a Cancer Journey Coach (CJC) to help them heal emotionally and spiritually and find their true power.
Shariann has over 25 years of coaching and coach training experience combined with 16 years in corporate America, which gives her the expertise needed to lead and operate an innovative company and to support the growing number of CJCs worldwide.

Sinai’s cancer center in New York, UCSF in San Francisco and Ostia, Italy’s Cancer Conference.
