A Personalized Path to Thriving with Chronic Illness
Living with chronic illness is hard enough. Navigating it alone - without a clear plan, a steady support system, or the tools to advocate for yourself - makes it so much harder. THRIVE is a 4-month, one-on-one integrative health coaching experience designed to help you stop surviving and start thriving, on your own terms.
You're doing everything "right" — and still feel stuck
You show up to your appointments. You follow the protocols. You push through the hard days. And yet, somehow, you still feel like you're just treading water.
Maybe you're exhausted from trying to manage your symptoms while keeping the rest of your life from falling apart. Maybe your care team is helpful, but no one has ever sat with you and asked: what do you actually need? Maybe you've started to wonder if feeling better is even possible for someone like you.
It is. And that's exactly where THRIVE begins.
Meet, THRIVE.
A 4-month private health coaching experience —
THRIVE is a deeply personalized, 4-month, one-on-one health coaching package for people living with chronic illness who are ready to move beyond overwhelm, and toward a life that feels like their own again.
THRIVE is created and led by Leslie Thorpe, a board-certified Health and Wellness Coach, Chronic Illness Advocate, and Cancer Thriver. THRIVE is built around your unique symptoms, energy, and goals. Not a rigid formula. Not a one-size-fits-all protocol. A real, individualized plan that meets you exactly where you are, and walks forward with you, one step at a time.
Leslie has navigated recurrent lymphoma and autoimmune challenges throughout her adult life. She knows firsthand that what moves the needle isn't a perfect plan. It's learning to listen to your body, speak up for your needs, and take small, sustainable steps forward. THRIVE is the program she wishes she'd had.

How The THRIVE Program Works —
STEP 1
The Foundation
1 x 80-minute 1:1 Deep Dive Session (Week 1)
Uncover what’s keeping you stuck and establish your baseline. We conduct a full audit across key life pillars (sleep, stress, daily demands, and health triggers) to uncover hidden energy drains.
Pacing and Mindset Kickoff: You’ll be introduced to the Chronically Well pacing method to replace guilt and push-and-crash cycles with self-compassion and realistic boundaries.
App Onboarding: Set up your private app portal to begin tracking daily baselines and energy patterns.
STEP 2
The Roadmap
3 x 50-minute Weekly 1:1 Coaching Sessions (Weeks 2 -4)
Take a deep dive into your goals to build your personalized wellness roadmap. This will reflect your real life, your real energy budget, and your real vision for living well.
Habits & Energy Systems: Design 3-5 high impact daily habits and put immediate flare-up protocols in place.
Mindset Shift: Practice unlearning productivity guilt and cultivating self-acceptance as you build your baseline.
App Messaging & Tracking: Continuous messaging support between coaching sessions to tweak your roadmap in real time.
STEP 3
The Integration
6 x 50-minute Bi-Weekly 1:1 Coaching Sessions (Months 2 - 4)
This is where your habits take root and momentum builds. Over 3 months of bi-weekly coaching, you will put your roadmap into practice, refine your daily systems, and internalize your progress.
Self-Advocacy Focus: Master guilt-free boundaries with family and work, and build your Healthcare Appointment Planner to communicate effectively in medical appointments without feeling dismissed.
Mindset Shift: Reclaim your agency, overcome people-pleasing, and trust your body’s signals.
Between-Session App Support: Use app tracking to log habit consistency, track symptoms and message Leslie when real-life hurdles come up.
STEP 4
The Empowered Journey
Final Integration Session & Sustainability Plan (Takes place during the last session)
Celebrate how far you have come with your habits, mindset and self-advocacy. In our final phase, we future-proof your progress so you can sustain your wellness long after our work together ends.
Your Custom Playbook: Consolidate your baselines, boundary scripts, emergency flare-up protocols and habit stacks into your personalized playbook.
Mindset Shift: Transition from fear of handling low-energy and high symptom days to total confidence in your self-coaching ability.
Off-Boarding Plan: Map out your independent path forward with a clear maintenance strategy for future life transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely. Integrative health coaching complements — it doesn't replace — your existing medical care. Think of it as the layer of support that helps you show up to your appointments more prepared, follow through on your goals more consistently, and feel less alone in the process. You bring your care team; THRIVE helps you make the most of them.
-
That's exactly why this program is built around flexibility. Every plan we create together is shaped around where you are right now — including the hard days, the flares, and the weeks when everything feels like too much. You don't need to show up perfectly. You just need to show up.
-
There are no cures here — and that will never be the promise. What THRIVE does offer is a meaningful, research-backed framework for improving your quality of life, rebuilding your sense of agency, and feeling more like yourself again. Many clients experience real shifts in how they feel, how they think, and how they move through the world. That's what thriving with chronic illness looks like.
-
The best way to find out is to simply have a conversation. Submit a THRIVE application and you'll be invited to book a free consultation call. Together, you and Leslie will talk through where you are, what you're hoping for, and whether THRIVE is the right next step for you — no pressure, no commitment.
-
Investing in your health and wellness is an important decision, and I want you to have all the information you need before making it. Because every client begins with a complimentary consultation, we'll discuss the THRIVE package, your goals, and the investment during our call. This ensures you have a clear understanding of what's included and can decide whether it's the right fit for you.
If we determine that THRIVE is a good match, I'll walk you through the pricing and answer any questions so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
