Sharing my training and hard‐earned body wisdom

I share my training and hard‐earned body wisdom with class participants, and give them the freedom to work within their capacity. Even with new hips, knees, or arthritis, I encourage them to get stronger than they ever had.

Also, I’ve come to appreciate the need for seniors in Independent Living communities to keep moving, even if it’s from a chair. They are proud when they do a move they swore was impossible before class — and I am proud of them.

Through my teaching I've developed relationships with women and men at local Pilates studios and at Mercy Healthplex. Watching them re‐commit to o a healthy lifestyle through a program of stretch, strength and balance, brings me a great sense of joy and gratitude for a life that has moved through many experiences to this current place.
