I am passionate about the benefits of exercise for cancer survivors. I am a New York musician who was diagnosed with breast cancer while just in my 30s. From my own experience, I believe in the importance of exercise before, during, and after cancer treatments. I understand both the difficulties and the tremendous benefits of exercise during all phases of cancer treatment.
While I still work as a musician, I am now also dedicated to helping others stay fit and stay strong. I offer personal training services in the New York City area, providing safe and effective, individual exercise programs designed for each client. Because the needs of cancer patients can range from someone who's basically fit but trying to train seriously again after treatment to someone who can barely get out of bed, each exercise program must be individualized. There can be no "cookie cutter" workouts!
I also lead fitness workshops for survivors - I make them laugh, I make them cry, I make them lift weights.
Because I believe so strongly in the benefits of exercise for cancer patients, it was important to me that people living anywhere, even in remote areas, have access to information and training advice. To that end, I recently launched a website, http://life-cise.com, to provide online fitness services for the cancer community. In addition, I write regularly about fitness issues for cancer survivors on my blog, http://fitnessforsurvivors.blogspot.com.
