SPECIAL SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

I have been in health and wellness since 1992. I have had a very diverse client base ranging from corporate accounts, to physical therapy patients to private clients, old and young, as well as Olympic athletes, and those with disabilities such as MS and Cystic Fibrosis. I had done health fairs, trade shows, and volunteer work.

Many of my clients have come to me with challenges such as range of motion, poor balance, weak core muscles, or pain because of continually poor posture or muscular imbalance. Being a certified personal trainer, I am able to design safe and effective programs which help strengthen not only their bodies, but awareness of where they are in space, giving them tools to being more confident, leading to a higher quality of life. My client base tends to be forty and above. 

I am driven to provide my clients the tools to lead a productive pain free life. I am passionate about educating others about proper body mechanics, and corrective exercises. With proper cueing and kinesthetic awareness they can learn to feel how to stimulate certain muscle to provide more support in their movement patterns. This process is s huge tool they can carry forward into their lifestyle giving them more confidence to be active!
