Andrea,I just wanted to thank you for allowing me to be a part of what you are doing in the cancer world. I have to date received 21 referrals and can't believe the impact we can have on someones' life. It's scary that there are so many cases in San Antonio, but I'm going to do whatever I can to help. I've been invited to speak at a weekend retreat for breast cancer survivors and have already given three presentations at the CTRC ( Cancer Therapy Research Center). Again, thank you. After 24 years in the fitness industry, I once again feel as I am making a difference in my clients lives. It's so empowering to work with people that do NOT take everyday for granted and are motivated to improve every aspect of their remaining time. As selfish as this may sound, I feel that I am getting as much if not more out of this than my clients.

Your workshop was among the best I've ever taken. The materials were pertinent and intelligible. The presentation flowed beautifully and it was all so very interesting. Having worked with clients who have had cancer I realized there were things that I am so glad to really know now. The workshop was professionally managed and of a quality standard other presenters should emulate. I look forward to using the knowledge I gained from it to help my clients even more. Thanks for your work and inspiration! I appreciated it and I know that the people who need my newly acquired skill set will be grateful too. I felt a profound sense of purpose after taking your workshop and loved how it made me more committed to my profession.

As a naturopathic doctor, I employ a variety of natural therapies such as diet, exercise, stress reduction, herbal interventions, nutritional supplementation, detoxification, and elimination. While these therapies can be quite restorative and effective in stabilizing victims of cancer, my practice will now take on a new perspective now that I've completed your program. You have elevated the role of exercise and cancer survival to a level that nobody else has, and your ability to communicate this message is superb. Many people afflicted with this catastrophic disease will be able to improve their quality of life do to your efforts. Every trainer, physical and occupational therapist should be armed with this critical information, your knowledge and your passion regarding exercises specifically for cancer survivors has made this course informative and enjoyable. Andrea, if I can contribute anything to your future efforts to communicate this important message, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Andrea, I felt that your workshop was the best we've been to in the last ten years. I've been in the health club industry my entire adult life and I've attended a lot of workshops and seminars. I was highly impressed and I look forward to using this knowledge. I know that it will make an impact on the community. When I put this new Qualification into practice, I'm sure you will hear from me. Kimberly Helpenstel Group Fitness Instructor / Personal Trainer Langley, WA

I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with this amazing work you are doing. I learned more in those two days than I can remember retaining from all the personal training/aerobic conventions I've ever gone to in the 17 yrs. Of doing this. I'm not the best of students without a lot of repetition, and your method of presenting the material helped me to cement the information. If nothing else, I have new empathy for any soul who has had to work through cancer in any form. I already have made connections with clients because of this. Keep on keeping on girl. You are doing good work; your work.It matters.

On February 14 & 15, 2004 I had the opportunity to meet Andrea at her Cancer Exercise Specialist Workshop in NYC. The workshop was so well presented, informative and at an easy to understand level, I would recommend it to any Personal Trainer as a continuing education for their certification. At the time I took the workshop I was fortunate that Andrea allowed me to attend given the fact that I was still educating for my certification as a Stott Pilates trainer here in New York. I've recently completed my education and am looking forward to working with all types of cancer survivors and applying Andrea's critical insights to assist the cancer survivor in getting back to their lives at the normal healthy pace that can be achieved. Thanks Andrea and continue "Training the Trainer!"   Barbara Pantino Stott, Pilates Trainer, NY, NY

As a Certified Personal Trainer, when I encountered my first client with cancer I was unsure on how to proceed. Fortuitously, I found out about Andrea, her book, and her Cancer Exercise Specialist workshop. Andrea's workshop was incredibly informative and inspiring. Her presentation of the material not only maintained, but also heightened my interest in the subject. The workshop was clearly divided into clearly defined sections which gave me an insightful overview on cancer and the implications for exercise. Andrea, thank you for providing such an interesting, caring, and effective learning environment. The workshop raised my awareness and knowledge of the subject. Andrea's passion for what she does, for helping improve other people's lives through exercise, is infectious. Since attending the workshop in January of 2004, I have had the privilege to work with several people with cancer. I have helped them to facilitate positive changes in their lives, using the information that Andrea taught me. Andrea, you've been a true inspiration to me.  CT Fox , Certified Personal Trainer, Denver, CO

Andrea , Thanks again for an incredible and inspiring two days! I am not known to sit still, much less inside, for an entire weekend, but you made it easy. As a five year breast cancer survivor myself, I know the power that exercise has in the healing process from cancer surgeries and chemotherapy. I taught ten aerobic classes a week (perhaps a bit slower) after surgery and through chemotherapy, and by doing so kept me strong enough to withstand the treatments.
Through this workshop, you have given me the knowledge and tools to truly help other survivors get through their ordeal a little easier. Whatever we as trainers can do to help motivate those survivors will be key in their recovery. Thanks again for driving my passion in exercise and cancer survivors!

Hi Andrea, I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you again for the wonderful two-day workshop. I learned sooooo much. I feel this information is something EVERY trainer should have. I can tell you put your heart and soul into this and it really shows! It is incredibly comprehensive, and it covers virtually everything. I will definitely recommend your program to all of the other trainers I know. And, this is the first workshop I have been to in a very long time that was FUN! Thanks again for everything. I look forward to keeping in touch.  Sharon Rosman, Certified Personal Trainer, Chicago, IL
