ABOUT PEONY PRO
Supporting the Professionals Supporting Women
A professional network for practitioners committed to advancing integrative breast cancer care.
Every day, practitioners help women navigate some of the most important decisions of their lives.
They educate, guide, advocate, listen, coordinate, and support—often while navigating a rapidly evolving landscape of research, treatment options, and patient needs.
Peony PRO was created to support those professionals.
Through education, visibility, connection, and future certification pathways, we help practitioners expand their impact while contributing to a more integrative future for breast cancer care.
OUR VISION
A Future Where Integrative Care Is the Standard
Where practitioners learn across disciplines and women have access to the support they need to navigate the full experience of breast cancer.
Breast cancer care is evolving.
Women increasingly seek support that extends beyond treatment alone—spanning nutrition, movement, mental health, rehabilitation, survivorship, supportive care, and complementary approaches alongside conventional medicine.
At the same time, practitioners are being asked to navigate a growing body of research, expanding treatment options, and increasingly complex patient needs.
We envision a future where professionals are better connected, education is more accessible, and women benefit from a broader ecosystem of support.
A future where conventional and complementary approaches are explored thoughtfully and responsibly.
A future where practitioners have more opportunities to learn from one another.
And a future where women no longer have to navigate everything alone.
WHY WE EXIST
Because No One Practitioner Can Do It All
The breast cancer experience extends far beyond any single specialty.
Women often seek guidance from many different professionals throughout diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
Yet most practitioners are trained within their own disciplines and rarely have opportunities to learn alongside professionals from other specialties.
The challenge is not a lack of expertise.
The challenge is integration.
Peony PRO was created to help bridge those gaps through education, practitioner visibility, multidisciplinary learning, and future certification pathways that support a more connected experience for women and the professionals who serve them.
Because integrative care begins with integrative thinking.
OUR INSPIRATION
A Midwife's Perspective on Breast Cancer Care
Some of the most powerful lessons in healthcare come from learning how to support people through life's most significant transitions.
Peony PRO was founded by Sarah Glynn, a clinically trained midwife, publisher, educator, and entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience helping people discover evidence-informed complementary and alternative approaches to health and wellbeing.
Throughout her career, Sarah has worked alongside leaders in both conventional and integrative medicine, helping bring educational programs, health innovations, and emerging ideas to professionals and consumers around the world.
What stood out was not simply the therapies themselves.
It was the model of care.
As a midwife, Sarah witnessed firsthand how outcomes improve when women feel informed, supported, empowered, and actively involved in decision-making.
She saw the value of continuity, education, advocacy, and trust. She also saw how meaningful collaboration between conventional and complementary providers could create a richer, more supportive experience for women.
Many of the challenges faced by women navigating breast cancer mirror those faced by women navigating pregnancy and birth:
- Complex decisions
- Multiple providers
- Information overload
- Emotional stress
- Conflicting recommendations
- The need for trusted guidance and support
The maternal health field has spent decades developing models that improve communication, coordination, education, and patient experience.
Peony applies many of those same principles to breast cancer care.
Not as a replacement for medical treatment. But as a way to strengthen the experience surrounding it.
OUR BELIEFS
The Principles That Guide Our Work
Integrative care begins with curiosity, collaboration, and respect for the whole person.
Women deserve access to trusted information and support.
The future of breast cancer care is integrative.
Better outcomes require both clinical excellence and human connection.
No single practitioner has all the answers.
Women benefit when professionals learn from one another.
Education empowers better decisions.
Technology should strengthen—not replace—human relationships.
Healing involves more than treatment alone.
Conventional and complementary approaches can learn from one another.
Supporting practitioners ultimately helps support more women.

OUR NORTH STAR
Better Supported Practitioners. Better Supported Women.
Creating the conditions for more informed decisions, stronger support systems, and a better breast cancer experience.
We believe that when practitioners have access to better education, stronger professional networks, greater visibility, and more opportunities to learn from one another, women benefit.
They benefit from broader perspectives. They benefit from better communication. They benefit from more connected support. And they benefit from practitioners who understand that healing involves more than treatment alone.
Our goal is not simply to build a network.
Our goal is to help create a future where every woman facing breast cancer has access to the information, support, and care she needs to navigate her journey with greater confidence.
