Cathy Skinner has been a pioneer in the cancer community since 2008. Author of The Art of Well’s Exercise for Cancer Recovery™, she was the first certified American College of Sports Medicine cancer exercise specialist in Minnesota. She holds an M.A. in Organizational Development from the University of St. Thomas and a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California-Davis. In 2016, she launched a digital health company for cancer patients and their loved ones called Thrivors™. An enthusiastic presenter, Cathy leads workshops, speaks at conferences, and conducts research projects. When asked why she is motivated to work with cancer survivors, Cathy says: “The cancer diagnosis and treatment process can be very disempowering. Exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness empower cancer patients and survivors to take control of their own recovery and get connected to their ‘new’ bodies.”
