I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Massachusetts in Family Communication and Family Counseling.  After working in the field for a time, I discovered that I enjoyed working with people on a physical level rather than an emotional/mental level -- although I have discovered that neither physical, mental or spiritual can be separated -- they are all interrelated!  I have taught Group Ex since 1980, beginning at the YMCA in Quincy, MA, then with Mothers In Motion in Duxbury, MA.  We moved to Virginia and I got involved in teaching at ACAC Fitness and Wellness Center and taught there since 1992 with a 7 year leave, during which time I homeschooled my children.  I then returned to ACAC and felt led to advance my fitness career and so pursued my personal training certification with ACSM.  I have been a personal trainer for the last 5 years, working well with the midlife population and those older than that.
