H.E.R. Journey
Heal. Empower. Rebuild.
A Monthly Membership to Help You Rediscover Your Strength and Mobility after Breast and/or Abdominal Surgery
You did it; you’ve made it to the other side of surgery recovery.
Your doctor has cleared you for movement, and you’re eager to get back to training. But after all your body has been through, you’re left wondering “where do I even start?”
You’re still learning what it feels like to be in this new version of your body, and that uncertainty can make working out feel really overwhelming. You find yourself missing the “old version” of you that was full of fire and motivation.
I’m here to tell you- she’s still in there.
And that's exactly where H.E.R. Journey comes in.
This program was designed specifically for women like you—women who are ready to reconnect with their strength, even if your body feels different. HER Journey provides expert guidance and a supportive community to help you move forward with confidence, rebuild your motivation, and get back to feeling strong and capable in your workouts.
You don't have to figure it out alone, let's take the next step together.
Imagine having a program built for exactly where you are.
A program designed not only to restore your mobility but to rebuild your strength—without the fear, confusion, or frustration. You deserve support from someone who *gets* it.
I created this program based on the latest research and my personal experience.
As both a Physician Assistant and a Strength Coach, I’ve been through the same journey as you.
After my own surgeries, I found there were no clear paths to return to strength training,
So I built one.
This isn’t just another strength program.
This program is specifically designed for women recovering from breast and/or abdominal surgery, combining professional advice, personal experience, and the latest research.
Focused on building strength and improving mobility, it includes exercises to prevent osteoporosis, increase muscle mass, and address post-surgery challenges.
New workouts weekly — so you always know exactly what to do next, with follow-along videos breaking down each workout step-by-step. No guesswork, no wondering if you're progressing safely.
Accessible Anytime, Anywhere
We know convenience is one of the keys to making progress. That’s why HER Journey materials are available right at your fingertips. Access everything you need through our easy-to-use app, whether you're at the gym, at home, or on the go.

This program is for you if:
You had breast or abdominal surgery and have been cleared to lift by your surgeon.
You’re ready to start strength training but want guidance on how to do it safely and effectively.
You’ve felt discouraged by other programs that didn’t account for your post-surgery needs.
You want to be part of a supportive community of women with similar experiences.
You feel confident with basic compound lifts like squats and deadlifts but need help progressing in your journey.
Not cleared yet? HER Journey is built for women who've already received clearance to lift (typically ~3 months post-op, though this varies by procedure and individual). If you're still in early recovery, start with our free 5-day mobility program instead.

Meet Coach Sam
Samantha Ciaccia is a highly respected Physician Assistant, PA-C and Strength Coach, CSCS with over a decade of experience in both clinical practice and personal training.
While working in New York City’s fast-paced Emergency Rooms, she saw firsthand the undeniable link between optimal health and physical fitness.
Throughout her career, she has worked to bridge the gap between medicine and fitness, recognizing their equal importance.
In 2022, her professional and personal worlds collided when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After multiple surgeries, she found herself without a clear path for returning to training—a challenge she never expected. As both a clinician and strength coach, she documented her journey back to fitness, knowing it would one day serve as a guide for other women facing similar challenges.
That day has come.
