Hello I'm Sarah, founder of Get Me Back. I wanted to tell you a bit about how Get Me Back started.

​

In May 2018, as I reached the halfway point of my second pregnancy, doctors told me I had cervical cancer. It was devastating. Our little boy Jacob was born too soon so I could get access to life-saving therapy. I went on to have chemotherapy, radiotherapy and brachytherapy in the hope it would cure my cancer. And in November 2018 I was given the all clear. My cancer has gone.

​

​After finishing my treatment, I wanted to gain back control of my body and mind. It was very slow at first - walking to the local shop, gentle yoga, mindfulness. But day by day my strength and fitness continued to improve.

​

​I found returning to fitness after cancer quite scary. Not knowing where to start or what exercises I should be doing. It was also quite daunting joining exercise classes where others had no idea what I'd been through.

​

But taking that time out just for me, with no distractions, to focus on rebuilding myself was so important. Exercise helped me regain control again. I would go as far to say exercise saved me - physically and mentally.

​

​And so that is why I decided to start a career in fitness and launch Get Me Back. To use my experience to help others regain control of their bodies after cancer.

​

After qualifying in 2019, I am now an experienced CanRehab Cancer & Exercise Specialist and Breast Cancer Rehab Coach.

 

Looking forward to working out with you soon.
