Reclaim Body Autonomy. Rebuild Intelligent Strength.
Evidence-Based Exercise Physiology & Somatic Movement for Cancer Recovery.
In 2012, I lost my aunt, Sister Helene Lentz, to ovarian cancer. That same year, I committed my practice to exercise oncology, becoming an ACSM-Certified Cancer Exercise Trainer while overseeing LiveSTRONG group fitness programs.
In 2020, I founded The Aunt Sister Project in her memory, developing a specialized 16-week "re-entry" program to bridge the gap between active treatment and long-term movement independence. Today, I bring evidence-based, compassionate care directly to you through interactive online classes, virtual group fitness, and personalized 1:1 coaching.
Recovery can feel isolating, especially when standard fitness enforces rigid rules that ignore the reality of cancer treatment. My programs focus on restorative, research-backed modalities—prioritizing breathwork, mobility, and progressive functional strength to help you regulate your nervous system, manage side effects, and rebuild body trust on your own terms.
“I WAS IN need of a workout program after chemo…
…so I reached out to Ashley. Starting something new was very daunting for me, but Ashley was very patient and attentive. My experience has been great, and best of all, she has helped pave the way for a regular exercise routine in my life!”
-LILY K.
“AS A STAGE FOUR CANCER SURVIVOR, I KNOW ASH IS CARING AND INVESTED…
She always has a personalized plan for each workout session. She is a great motivator and mentor, and I would highly recommend using her knowledge to become stronger not just physically but mentally as well.”

PROGRAM PATHWAYS
16-week Re-entry program
The Aunt Sister Blueprint.
This evidence-based container bridges the gap between clinical discharge and long-term physical autonomy. I guide you step-by-step through restorative breathwork, joint mobility, and progressive loading—giving you a clear, adaptable roadmap to reclaim physical agency without fear or exhaustion.
Personalized coaching
A program tailored specifically to your treatment or recovery phase. I combine exercise physiology—managing fatigue, protecting bone health, and mitigating lymphedema risk—with somatic movement. Together, we release protective physical bracing, regulate the nervous system, and rebuild functional strength at the pace that works for you.
online group classes
Accessible, community-centered group exercise designed for all stages of diagnosis and survivorship. These sessions prioritize restorative mobility, gentle energy resets, and fluid functional movements that help regulate stress, relieve fatigue, and foster collective body trust from the comfort of your own home. Workouts are modified for all fitness levels.
