As a Personal Fitness Coach I have had the pleasure of helping my clients reach their fitness goals for fourteen years. When I designed special programs for my clients that had breast cancer little did I know I would be doing the same exercises myself.

In 2006 when I was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma I started designing specialty clothing for women undergoing breast cancer surgery and treatment.

To encourage and share information with other breast cancer survivors and their families I began the blog www.breastcancerandfitness@blogspot.com.

When I am not working or spending time with my family I enjoy riding my horse, a 7 year old Morgan gelding Rojo.
