Hear What Marjie Had to Say After 20 Years as an OncoVieā„¢ Cancer Exercise Specialist
Jun 28, 2025VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

I just want to say something real quick if I can. That's on here, or might be viewing it sometime in the future. I took this course with Andrea 20 years ago, and I had. I have had, oh, at least 200 clients at least, with every type of cancer, every stage of cancer, every age, everything I could tell you.
-
00:00:24I learned the way I know how to do what I do with my cancer clients was from Andrea, because it is the most common sense practical. Here's what it is. Here's what you do, and I swear by it. So I always have, and I'm not just saying that because I like her I didn't pay her, I swear. No. And if you, if you missed the beginning, Margie, they have to hear this, because 20 years ago I was
-
00:00:48just starting teaching live workshops. I used to carry a dry erase board. I didn't know how to use a Powerpoint, and I'd fly across the country to teach, you know, 5 people.
-
00:00:57And I barely knew how to use the computer. And so I had didn't have enough people. Margie drove to Connecticut. I think it was. And I had. You know, the couple people that had registered I left emails for or whatever, because I didn't have their phone numbers when they registered. So she calls me the morning of the workshop, and I still can picture myself driving in a car wherever the heck I was, and she's like I'm here for the workshop. I thought I was gonna die.
-
00:01:25I literally like felt my heart drop. And I'm like, didn't you get the message, and she's like, no, I just drove here from New Jersey, and I'm here, and I paid for a hotel, and I literally it gives me goosebumps. Now it was like one of those worst moments that you just wish you could crawl and crawl in a hole and die, and
-
00:01:43she's such a lovely person, I mean, I was like, you know, let me pay for your travel this, that she could have been horrible about it. But this just goes to show you, you know, I guess when the universe aligns that not only did you forgive me, I went. I went to your next seminar.
-
00:01:59and she's been doing this for 20 years, you know. Yeah, because my healthcare. I was working for a hospital system at the time that was had medical health, I mean medical health. Gym, you know. So it was so important to me that I do this, and they wanted me to really get this, too. And I went. Let me tell you, it didn't stop me from going the next one she had, and the next
-
00:02:20course that she had was packed. Andrea, I'll never forget the one that I went to had all these physical therapists in it. And I was like, look at this, there were a lot of us. There were well over 20. So yeah, and I haven't done a live workshop since before Covid. They just people just don't want to do live anymore. But I'm open to it if anybody wants to host a workshop. But
-
00:02:41did. Was there more you were saying? Because, I interjected. But you were on a roll about. I just wanted to say it's proved invaluable to me, and I still will go and get my books out. I just had another trainer the other day. Say to me, ask me a question, and I said, Get your book. The only way you're going to know is to get your certification manual. Look it up. That's right. There, you know, it's your Bible.
-
00:03:06You'll always use it. Okay, you'll go back to it and back to it. And I have probably 9 additions.
-
00:03:12Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So. We're now in the 14th edition, revised. Well, I so appreciate you, you being here for this today. And although you know, we have lots and lots of case studies in our library, and you can see, you know, different different situations, different scenarios, because everybody's different. And you know I'm glad you're not cut up. But obviously that could that could cause a different issue.
-
00:03:37You know. Cross that bridge when you come to it. So we didn't get anything like really exciting, but you know what a journey that you've been on and helped so many people, and now hopefully can help you a little bit, and you can continue to do the great work you do.
-
00:03:52So yeah, anybody else have anything to say. Let me know. Otherwise you can always email me at Andrea, at thecancer specialist.com. And like, I said, Check out Citi Andrea on Instagram. I've posted a couple pretty poignant posts the last couple days. So
-
00:04:09all right, my dear Margie, thank you so much, and thank you for being here at this time.
-
00:04:15and we'll see you guys later.
