Better Choices for a Healthy Lifestyle
For almost a decade and a half, I have dedicated my time and energy to helping others recognize and progress toward their health and wellness goals. Notice I did not say ‘achieve’.

Well, it’s been all about the ground hog this week….but I think I would rather be a guinea pig! Wouldn’t you agree that they are a bit cuter and cuddlier than a ground hog, even if they don’t know when Spring will arrive?? But, seriously, I am often (and would prefer to be) a guinea pig, [ ]
I would like to focus on some new things in 2026, mainly to AIM differently. I am striving to be more: Authentic Intentional Moldable (teachable) I don t know about you, but hitting the bullseye rarely works for me.

When I became a personal trainer/coach I began incorporating walks into my client’s sessions. I am also a FAST walker….so much so, that [ ]
I recently became certified as a Menopause Specialist as part of continuing to keep my PT credential. I can tell you that I learned a lot through this certification, but I am not sure I would say I am a specialist in the area, lol. However, I DO like to help people and because Menopause [ ]

As we look forward to recognizing America’s liberty with our 4th of July celebrations, I want to invite you to think about yourself a bit. We enjoy SO MANY freedoms in this country! However, some of us need to experience freedom of a different kind….. I would like to invite you to consider liberating yourself from the [ ]
