FULTON, NY – MISSION: midlife Wellness Studio is one of 10 recipients world-wide to be awarded a Studio Scale Up Grant awarded by Studio Grow. Beth Ann Dice, owner/trainer at the studio, is a Certified Breast Cancer Recovery BOSU® Specialist and Certified Cancer Exercise Specialist. Ms. Dice was also awarded a scholarship to participate in Studio Grow’s 12-month Mastermind Business Coaching Program, and will attend a two-day retreat in Chicago later this month as part of the program.
The Studio, located in the historic Cortini building on Cayuga Street, features programs to aid midlife and older women, particularly those with chronic conditions in leading a healthier and fulfilling lifestyle through exercise, sensible food choices, stress reduction, improved sleep and mindset work. The addition of the cancer exercise programs makes MISSION:midlife the only facility in the area to offer this service.
“Cancer Recovery Programs are the next step after physical therapy. When consulting with potential clients, nearly all felt that they needed additional support after being released from PT, as they were finding many pre-cancer activities challenging.” Dice said in a recent interview. “I focus on mobility, balance and functional training to support activities as simple as daily tasks around the house, gardening, playing with grandchildren, even golfing and tennis. Programing is customized to the individual needs and goals of each client.”
Dice, who is also a Certified Personal Trainer, will use the funds to expand her BOSU® Breast Cancer Recovery Program, as well as establish a formal scholarship program to assist those who are not financially able to afford these types of cancer recovery and wellness programs which are typically not covered by insurance.
