“Combining physical, mental, and spiritual well-being were crucial to me during my breast cancer treatment nine years ago, but I had gotten away from them over the years. The iRise and Shine Wellness Training Program was exactly the boost that I needed to revitalize all of those areas of my life with the added support of a community of survivors who face similar challenges. This regimen armed me with the latest information about nutrition, exercise, sexual health, and spiritual well-being targeted to breast cancer survivors, but it was the encouragement of the community of survivors, and our compassionate trainers, that empowered me to make the most of these tools.

The weekly presentations about topics ranging from sexual health to spiritual discovery were not only informative and evidenced-based, they were delivered by compassionate and empathetic experts. Check-ins and light-hearted discussions on social media and via the fitness app added accountability. But my favorite element of the program were Jake Wright’s workouts, which are individually tailored to each participant. I am an avid runner who has participated in dozens of live and recorded exercise programs over decades, and I found Jake’s to be the most effective and accessible of them all. As a runner, I am leery of exercise programs that are too strenuous and require a lot of plyometrics – Jake’s workouts offer just the right amount of targeted-challenge that delivers results and they can be modified. I really appreciated his short videos that describe and demonstrate each exercise.

This program offered the tools and encouragement that I needed to take back control of my mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, and cultivate a rich and well-rounded life as a cancer survivor.”

“I felt lost after active treatment, the iRise & Shine Wellness Training Program really helped me find my way. The workouts are fun and keep me active and accountable. If I need a little motivation, the ladies are always there for support.”

“A month before finishing chemotherapy for breast cancer I found iRise & Gillian. It was perfect timing to support me in the most challenging time of my entire journey. Typically treatment ends and patients are left to navigate their new world alone - Not me! Thanks to iRise I had support for all facets - mind, body & spirit. Their nutrition, fitness, meditation, journaling and check-in meetings are science-backed methods to prevent recurrence. Plus the program brings me so much joy! I can’t thank Gillian & my iRise sisters enough!”

“I was fortunate that during my treatment I felt well enough to stay physically active, yet I found that all wellness programs catering to women with breast cancer were designed for an older population and there were not a lot of programs that would be applicable to young and active breast cancer patients. The exercise and training component of the iRise & Shine Wellness Training Program was vigorous enough to be challenging to even the most active participant, but customizable enough to appeal to someone new to working out. The seminars were very relevant to issues facing young women with breast cancer and the online community provided accountability and a place to share our triumphs and frustrations. “
