Like you, I’m a senior. But age alone isn’t reason enough for you to trust that I can help you move better and feel better.

My qualifications to work with older adults began many decades ago when I was a dancer and majored in ballet in college. I didn’t have the talent and body-type to get promoted out of the corps de ballet, but I did learn a thing or two about posture, balance, and alignment along the way.

After I stopped dancing, staying fit remained a priority. In the 1980s, I wore leg warmers and headbands in Jane Fonda-type aerobics classes. I logged hundreds of miles pushing a jogging stroller while raising a family of three. When I started my day job in marketing, my workouts shifted to early morning Pilates, bootcamp, strength, spin, Step, and HIIT classes. The blessing of a healthy body and the joy of moving motivates me to this present day.

Now, I have turned my passion for fitness into a profession – something I’ve wanted to do for decades. I know that a commitment to staying active and healthy living can make a significant difference in one’s life as they age…because it has for me.
