In this episode of “My Breast, My Health,” I am joined by Sarah Newman, founder of Get Me Back.
Sarah Newman is a Cancer & Exercise specialist and Breast Cancer Rehab Coach.
In 2018, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer during her pregnancy, which came as a shock. Despite the challenges, Sarah remained determined to stay fit and maintain control of her health.
Today, Sarah is an advocate for cancer awareness and an inspiration to many for her strength and resilience. She founded her company Get Me Back to offer specialist fitness training for women affected by cancer. Experiencing first-hand the benefits exercise had on her own recovery, she wanted to create an accessible place where women could feel safe exercising following their diagnosis. She aims to provide clear and specialist advice for those in need, offering a positive place to share experiences, regain body confidence and strength.
