Safety First: I know firsthand how easy it is to hurt yourself when you don’t practice proper form: I prioritize your safety. I ensure that the exercises we do are appropriate for your age and focus on preventing injuries, so you can work out confidently.

 

Age-Related Expertise: At 53, and having worked with midlifers and seniors my entire fitness career,  I have a deep understanding of how the body changes with age. That means I can effectively address concerns like muscle loss, bone density, and flexibility as we work together.

 

Health Management: I'm well-equipped to create a fitness program that aligns with your health conditions and any medications you might be taking. Your workouts will be safe and suitable, even if you have chronic illnesses or medications to consider.

 

Balance and Stability: If you're worried about balance issues, I've got you covered. I've created custom balance workouts and even had the opportunity to speak live with some of Boston's most respected balance specialists providing exercises that improve your balance and reduce the risk of falls.

 

Joint Health: This one is a BIG one for me, I know how important it is to maintain joint health. That's why I create workouts that promote joint mobility while ensuring we don't put undue stress on your joints.

 

Social Engagement: I understand the importance of community and social interaction. My group fitness classes foster a sense of togetherness, making your workouts more enjoyable and encouraging you to stay consistent.

 

Nutrition Guidance: Although I am not a certified dietician, I partner with many and I CAN offer you dietary advice in my scope of practice that's tailored to your unique needs, we review your health history and can do check-ins if that's what you need.

 

Mental Well-Being: I recognize the mental health benefits of exercise. I incorporate practices that reduce stress, enhance cognitive function, and boost your mood.

 

Accountability:  Honestly, this is WHY I”m here! Many people CAN exercise on their own, but just DON’T - I’m guilty of that myself!!  I'm here to provide you with the accountability and motivation you need to stick to your fitness routine and achieve your goals.

 

Education: I'm not just about workouts; I'm also focused on educating you about the aging process. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions about your health and fitness.

 

Fun Workouts: I believe in making workouts enjoyable. You should look forward to our exercise sessions, and I'm here to ensure they're engaging and fun.  If you HATE burpees, there will be NO BURPEES - why do something you hate when there are so many other options out there for the same muscle groups! 

 

Adaptability: I understand that everyone is different, especially on any given day! Whether you are feeling tired, had an injury, or recovering from illness. I'm skilled at adapting our workouts to accommodate your unique fitness level and personal objectives.  HONESTSLY this happens MUCH more than you think - and I am very quick to pivot!

 

Injury Prevention and Recovery: I offer strategies for preventing injuries and, if necessary, guide you through safe and effective recovery exercises.  I also partner with MANY physical therapists - I’ve even gone to some of my client's appointments with them.  I certainly compliment your PT sessions by giving you a total body program while the PT works on the injury.

 

Holistic Wellness: My approach goes beyond physical fitness. I'm dedicated to improving your overall quality of life, which includes sleep, nutrition, and stress management.  It’s all in ONE! 

 

Long-Term Health: Together, we'll work towards a higher quality of life, maintaining your independence and enjoying a healthy and active lifestyle well into your senior years.  I’ve had clients transition from midlifers to seniors - I feel it gives me a unique perspective of how our bodies age and change and what we need to do to maintain it!

 

Individual Attention: You can count on my one-on-one attention and personalized support. I believe in providing you with the care and guidance you deserve, which may be missing in larger, more generalized fitness settings.

 

Working with me: You'll experience a comprehensive and tailored approach to fitness that addresses your specific needs and goals as you enter midlife and your senior years.
