Through the flurry of pink waves, we are reminded that October is dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness, a month-long period that recognizes the 1 in 8 women who will develop invasive breast cancer at some point in their lifetime. But that “awareness” becomes personal when it happens to you, or someone you know and love. With the majority of DanceBody clients being female, so many of us have in some way experienced the effects of breast cancer, like my good friend Rebecca.

Let’s say it like it is: personal immunity is KEY to good health. And now, more than ever, is a time to check in with our own best practices to stay well as we head into Fall.

As a wellness professional, I am acutely aware of what I put into my body. This sense of agency and awareness keeps me on the right side of health. When COVID hit, I deemed myself essential to my business and continued to work, like I never had before, throughout the pandemic. During that time, I had to initiate a deep trust in my personal best practices in order to Keep Moving.
