Marina Blackford

Overview

Registered Dental Hygienist and Certified Holistic Cancer Coach

Marina Blackford is The Beyond Cancer Coach and a dental hygienist. She was inspired to help others after running the Boston Marathon one year after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She shared her cancer journey on social media, and found many people reaching out for help with loved ones that were being diagnosed with cancer. She felt the need for a bigger platform to reach others so in 2020 she started a YouTube channel. Later that year, she would be diagnosed with breast cancer again. Marina documented her journey on YouTube and uploaded a viral video titled “12 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting Chemo”. She has a YouTube community where she hosts monthly live chats on her channel. Her 15 year career as a dental hygienist has taught her about the relationship between a focused problem like inflammation and our overall health. To aid in this empowerment of knowledge, she completed a Holistic Cancer Coach certification in 2023. She continues to help others find hope and tools to help them beat and prevent cancer. You can find her on YouTube or at www.marinablackford.com. Marina’s greatest passion in life is being a mom, traveling with her husband and two kids, running and anything outdoors!
