H.E.R. Journey
Heal. Empower. Rebuild.
A Monthly Membership to Help You Rediscover Your Strength and Mobility After a Mastectomy
I know how challenging it can be
to rebuild strength after surgery;
Especially when your body has changed and you’re unsure how to move safely.
It makes TOTAL sense you’d lose motivation to keep moving
when you don’t even know where to start.
You want to feel like yourself again—strong, capable, and confident —but it’s not as easy as just jumping back into your old routine.
I’ve been there, and I know exactly what it feels like when you:
are ready to move forward, but not sure where to start.
feel frustrated by the lack of post-surgery strength programs that cater to your needs.
want to lift weights again but fear injury or doing something wrong.
have tried programs before, but they didn’t address your specific challenges.
There is a path to feeling strong again.
Imagine having a community of women who understand your journey. 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.
That’s where I come in.
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.
What does a week in the program look like?
You’ll need basic equipment like…
Small medicine ball (2-6 lbs)
Resistance Bands, Dumbbells and/or Kettlebells
A bench/table/couch surface

This isn’t just another strength program—it’s designed specifically for women post-mastectomy, combining my professional advice, personal experience backed up by the latest research.
With a focus on building strength and improving mobility, this program incorporates exercises that not only help prevent osteoporosis and increase muscle mass but also address the unique challenges you may face after surgery. You’ll receive a structured plan that I’ve personally tested and refined to ensure it’s safe and effective for women like us.
Phase 1 (4 weeks) - Healing. Goal is to get your reps in and just move!
Phase 2 (5 weeks) - Rebuild. Now we are taking those movements you mastered in Phase 1 & adding heavier load for strength & bone health.
Phase 3 (3 weeks) - Empower. Designed to challenge you and prove to yourself you are stronger and more powerful than ever!
You’ll also be invited to monthly LIVE Q&A calls where you can ask me anything about the program.
Beyond the workouts, you’ll stay engaged and motivated through our community group chat, where you can connect with others and find camaraderie throughout your week.
This program is for you if:
You had a mastectomy and have been cleared to lift by your doctor. If not, no worries - we recommend HER Mobility first.
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.

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.

After multiple surgeries, she found herself without a clear path for returning to training—a challenge she never expected.

That day has come.
