I’m so excited to finally share some big news, I am now officially certified as a Cancer Exercise Specialist (CES) with an Advanced Qualification through the Cancer Exercise Training Institute (CETI)! 🎉

After months of study, hands-on training, and dedication, I successfully completed the Cancer Exercise Specialist Advanced Qualification on January 29, 2026. This certification represents advanced education and practical training in the field of health and fitness specifically designed for individuals living with and beyond cancer.

What This Certification Means

This advanced qualification recognizes specialized training in:

  • Safe and effective exercise programming for cancer patients and survivors
  • Understanding cancer treatments and their physical side effects
  • Supporting strength, mobility, endurance, and quality of life through movement
  • Applying evidence-based exercise practices in oncology care

The program also included hands-on training in the fundamental areas of expertise required to work confidently and compassionately with cancer populations.

CETI’s education is widely recognized across the fitness and health industry, with continuing education credits accepted by organizations such as ACE, NASM, ISSA, NSCA, AFAA, CanFitPro, and more making this certification both rigorous and highly respected.

Why This Matters to Me

I am truly passionate about helping people move safely, regain strength, and feel empowered in their bodies especially during some of life’s most challenging moments. Earning this advanced qualification allows me to better serve individuals affected by cancer with knowledge, care, and confidence.

This milestone feels especially meaningful, and I’m incredibly proud to be joining the CETI community of professionals who are dedicated to improving lives through specialized exercise and support.

What’s Next

I’ll be continuing to grow, learn, and apply this advanced training as I support clients on their health and wellness journeys. I’m also looking forward to being listed in CETI’s International Directory and connecting with other professionals in this field.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way. I’m so grateful. And yes… I’m still smiling about it 😀 finally!
