Inspiring ways to be well.

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.

Fitness is one of my passions. I have been a certified Personal Fitness Coach for fourteen years.

When I was diagnosed with cancer my Doctor told me that cancer cells had probably been laying dormant in my body since puberty. So even though I was physically fit and ate right I would have still developed breast cancer.

This doesn't mean anyone should quit exercising and eating healthy, because it won't do any good. It means that everyone should be diligent concerning their health. It has been proven that exercise and eating a good blanced diet will reduce your chance of developing cancer and other diseases.

When I had chemo, radiation and reconstruction surgeries it was tough. I believe I was able to tolerate it better because I was physically and mentally strong due to exercise and diet.

Make time to take care of yourself; exercise, eat healthy, do your monthly exams and don't put off your yearly mammograms.
