My favorite client story

During the begining of the pandemic when I had switched over to online coaching, a long term client of mine began chemotherapy for breast cancer. We made a gameplan together to meet 4 times a week to keep her consistently active to help her healing process. Some days qere rough energy and pain wise. But we kept at it and she is currently cancer free and very grateful for how smooth the process was.

My favorite exercise
