Colour Me Fit Health & Wellbeing

Hi Everyone - it's been awhile since I last posted but here I am. 2011 has already been a big year for me and I'm happy to say a good year! In a post in December I mentioned starting a new business and it's all happening. As of this month I have a health and fitness studio where I plan to work with women like myself, living with breast cancer, to regain their fitness, strength and wellbeing.

Last year when I was struggling with my recovery and suffering from depression I started going to ChiBall classes. This is gentle exercise program based on Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates. It helped me so much and I was so passionate about it I did the instructors training in October last year. This put an idea in my head that maybe I could help other women recovering from breast cancer.

Since then I have completed Certificate III & IV in Fitness and a Rehabilitation Trainer course and now I have my business - Colour Me Fit Health & Wellbeing. I'm doing ChiBall classes for the Think Pink Foundation at their "Living Centre" in Melbourne and will also be conducting classes for Breacan in July. It's great!!

I have regained strength in my upper body that I never thought I would after a double mastectomy. I've also beaten the fatigue that was dragging me down so much last year. I still have my days but only once a month now not once a week.

As they say breast cancer is a journey but I'm on another journey now and it feels good.
