HealingStrong

What HealingStrong does

HealingStrong is a US-based 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 2013 and headquartered in Cumming/Dacula, Georgia, with a core staff of 1–10 employees. It connects, educates, and supports individuals facing cancer and other serious illnesses through volunteer-led peer support groups, both local and online, structured around three pillars: rebuilding the body (anticancer diet and lifestyle education), renewing the soul (emotional healing), and refreshing the spirit (Christian Bible study and prayer). Its core offerings include a 12-lesson HealingStrong Group Leader Curriculum delivered via Vimeo, a free 150+ page Participant Guide covering nutrition, detoxification, supplementation, exercise, and non-toxic protocols, the HEAL Bible Study program (also published on YouVersion), two podcast series (I Am HealingStrong hosted by Jim Mann; Around the Word hosted by Cheryl Collins, distributed via Buzzsprout), and a Prayer Team.

The organization's technology stack is content-and-community rather than software-driven: Vimeo for video, Buzzsprout and major podcast platforms for audio, YouVersion for Bible study distribution, and Stripe and Venmo for payment processing on its website at healingstrong.org. The HEAL Bible Study and Participant Guide are gated by email signup, and group participation is always free, while deeper resources sit behind a two-tier subscription membership (Thriving Beyond at $25/month or $270/year; Partners in Change at $75/month, which adds Chris Wark's Square One DVD Series and conference discounts).

HealingStrong's revenue model is donor-dependent: one-time gifts, recurring monthly "Hope Givers," corporate partnerships, stock gifts, legacy bequests via wills and beneficiary designations, and membership subscriptions. Its go-to-market is community-led, relying on content marketing (podcasts, blog, devotionals), organic social (Facebook, Instagram), strategic endorsements from cancer survivorship advocates (Chris Wark, Ivelisse Page/Believe Big, James Templeton/Templeton Wellness Foundation, Dr. Veronique Desaulniers/Breast Cancer Conqueror), and the volunteer group leader network to attract and retain cancer patients, thrivers, caregivers, and prevention seekers across the US, Canada, and online communities globally.

Direct peers

• Breast Cancer Conqueror: Dr. Veronique Desaulniers' holistic breast cancer healing and education brand. Featured Q&A partner for HealingStrong's membership program, operating in an overlapping niche of integrative oncology coaching.
• Annie Appleseed Project: Nonprofit advocating complementary, alternative, and holistic approaches for cancer patients. Shares HealingStrong's emphasis on diet, lifestyle, and informed patient choice in cancer care.
• Believe Big: Faith-based nonprofit founded by Ivelisse Page providing holistic cancer patient support and resources. Direct strategic partner of HealingStrong and the closest comparable in mission, faith-based framing, and approach to integrative oncology support.
• Chris Beat Cancer: Chris Wark's brand offering holistic cancer coaching, the Square One program, and survivor education. Active HealingStrong partner delivering Q&As and curriculum content to members, operating in the same holistic survivor space.
• The Truth About Cancer: Media and education platform delivering holistic and integrative oncology content, conferences, and survivor stories. Competes for the same audience seeking non-conventional cancer support resources.
• Anticancer Lifestyle Foundation: Nonprofit offering evidence-based lifestyle programs (nutrition, stress, environment) for cancer survivors. Closely parallels HealingStrong's anticancer diet and lifestyle curriculum, though offered in a secular framework.
• Templeton Wellness Foundation: Nonprofit founded by Stage 4 melanoma thriver James Templeton focused on holistic healing, nutrition, and patient advocacy. Strategic partner of HealingStrong and a near-mirror peer in survivor-led integrative cancer education.

Broad incumbents

• American Cancer Society: The largest US cancer nonprofit providing research, patient support, education, and advocacy. Overlaps with HealingStrong on patient education and support, though mainstream and not alternative/faith-based.
• Livestrong Foundation: Large established cancer support nonprofit providing navigation, education, and survivor services. A much broader incumbent that serves the same general cancer patient population through traditional channels.

Emerging players

• Kris Carr / Crazy Sexy Wellness: Wellness brand and content platform built around Kris Carr's cancer survivor journey, focused on holistic lifestyle and wellbeing. Adjacent in spirit but operates more as a personal brand and wellness media company than a peer-support nonprofit.
