Hi, my name is Mezena Matters

I created Cancer Conscious Kitchen after the devastating loss of my mother to cancer. While caring for her, I immersed myself in learning everything I could about nutrition and cancer development — and was stunned by how buried, fragmented, or inaccessible so much of the information was.

I longed for someone to simply say, “Cook this — it supports the body and doesn’t encourage cancer growth.”
When that resource didn’t exist, I decided to create it— to help make cooking feel less overwhelming during a time that already carries so much fear.

I’m a board-certified health coach and a certified breathwork facilitator. I’m from PEI but live in Calgary, Canada, with my senior pomchi, Cleo, and I’m so glad we found each other.
