Overview

Hi! I'm Jayne Donato Dempsey - Certified Holistic Cancer Coach Through BeatCancer.org and CEO of Butterfly Pathways To Soaring Success

My life has been a roller coaster of events that gives me all the experiences to help you today.

To be more accurate, my own life has been a growing process from Cocoon to Butterfly - and now I want to help you to do the same, through a series of coaching sessions, so that you can create your own "Butterfly Pathways" -  to attain the heights of YOUR OWN "Soaring Success."

On June 24, 2024, my husband, Michael Dempsey, died from complications around Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). My previous husband, Stephen Milak, died in 1982, from the same rare form of leukemia. From 1980 until now, I've been phenomenally guided and educated through the organization called Center for the Advancement of Cancer Education, (CACE), with the web site - https://beatcancer.org/about/,  the same organization that I now represent as a Certified. Holistic Cancer Coach. With this kind of leukemia, there are no symptoms. However, if and when it goes to the acute stage, the prognosis is six weeks of life. Strangely enough, it was that way when Stephen got CML in 1981, – and the same prognosis today. Stephen’s leukemia went acute in 7 months. With the help of the founder of CACE, Susan Silberstein, and all the referrals and guidance she provided, Stephen lived a quality of life for more than one year after he went acute –

In 2013, my husband, Michael Dempsey, was diagnosed with the same rare form of leukemia. Of course, my first reaction was, “Are you serious, God???? Did I miss a meeting???” However, I quickly “stepped up to the plate,” and again went back to Susan Silberstein at CACE – and BeatCancer.org was there for me every step of the way. Together, we chose our way of Michael’s path – and worked with a team of MDs at Jefferson’s Allopathic Oncology Department, Jefferson’s Division of Integrative Medicine called Marcus Institute, and all Michael’s other doctors Cooper Health System. We worked as an incredible team together, and I learned how to become Michael’s Advocate, to learn how to weave through the complicated medical system with intricate involvement myself, to be his Caregiver and the love of his life – as he was mine, and how to survive myself. LOVE is the most powerful tool that we have. With all of this teamwork, Michael’s leukemia never went acute, but he suffered 2 heart attacks, 5 strokes, and complications from surgery. Michael lived a quality of life for many, many years past what was expected by the professional staff. I was – and am – very strong about, “Unless you have a note from God, I don’t want to hear prognosis of when he might die.” Every doctor respected my wish, but now are telling me that they were all astounded at how much longer he lived than expected.

Michael's death has been devastating, giving me only two choices in life - to mentally die with Michael - or to move on to create a new life. I've made the conscious decision to go forward, using all of my experiences in life to help other people, including YOU, with holistic cancer coaching, caregiver coaching, relationship coaching, and spiritual coaching. ​I will tell you that the CEO of BeatCancer.org, Carl Wagner, and the COO, Zakariya Frank, were the ones that lifted me up, had incredible empathy, and encouraged me to move on  - and here I am – ready to help you – to channel my experiences into the most productive way possible.​

and Spiritual Coaching.

"Why so many kinds of coaching?" you might ask. The answer is because they all go together, and I have experience and expertise to help you with every single one of them.

Before meeting Stephen, in 1978, I was divorced and went through the ups and downs of that significant life change - and the challenge of raising two children on my own. After Stephen died, I then raised three children on my own - and went through 15 years of the wonderful "dating game," and actually came up with a formula for successful relationships. My children - Louis, Veronica, and Nicholas - are my Total Joy, and I thank God that each of them was born to me and now - I thoroughly adore and thank God for my grandchildren. When I married Michael, I accepted his children as my own, Mike and Molly, and embraced their children as my grandchildren - and thank God for them as well. Through it all, I experienced how to put a blended family into ONE family. In between both marriages, my father died. Right before he did, he cried to me - one of only three times I ever saw him cry. "What's going to happen to your mother? She doesn't drive. She coughs at night. She's totally dependent on me. What will happen when I'm gone?" For me, there was only one decision, "I got this Dad. I'll take care of Mama for the rest of her life," and I did. Hence, I also have the experience of what we now call "the sandwich generation," caring for a parent, while also taking care of our children. Mine was even trickier, because it started when I was still a widow.

As with my other choices, I can now look back and cherish every minute - every memory - of my loved ones that I said, "Yes" to the directive of God  - asking me to take care of them. That's the feeling I want to help you to have. At the end of the day - at the moment of death - there's no time to make decisions of IF we can help - or not. Death teaches us that those decisions must be made long before - knowing that death may come at any time. If we choose to let it, death gives us that wisdom – to love and “be there” for our loved ones WHEN THEY’RE ALIVE.

Throughout everything, the foundation of my being is and has been.... deeply spiritual - not religious, spiritual. Going through life together with the Divine is a powerful and - as I believe - a necessary part of life - not rules and regulations, but through walking with the power of the Divine, Gods and Goddesses, or Higher Power, or The Path of Enlightenment - every minute of every day. I wanted to learn about all spiritual paths and to attain the credentials to help people find their own way towards the path to their Divine, or Higher Power. I believe that all belief systems are to be respected. Consequently, I went to The New Seminary in New York City, to become an Ordained Inter-Faith Minister, where I minister to people "where they are," rather than conforming to any particular belief system. Therefore, I can offer to help you in your spiritual journey, so that you can find what's right and good for you. ​​​

I add those credentials to my education as a graduate of Holy Family University and continuing education through Rowan University. My professional career has been in teaching, private industry, and various government positions. In addition, I created a brained based, enhanced social emotional learning environment within a peaceful program called The Peace Zone and have been The CEO of Peace Zone Enterprises - to add the ability of creating a healthy school and home environment from early childhood on. This combination of coaching and Peace Zone Enterprises gives me the opportunity to create a better tomorrow for children and adults.​

AND NOW - MY CONCLUSION IS THAT ALL OF THESE EXPERIENCES HAD A PURPOSE - TO BRING ALL THAT I HAVE LEARNED -TO YOU-TO COACH YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY. IT IS MY JOY TO DO SO!!

Through a series of coaching sessions, I Will Show YOU How to Create YOUR "BUTTERFLY PATHWAYS"  - so that YOU can attain YOUR "SOARING SUCCESS!!!”
