Over my years of experience I have worked closely with special needs clients, including those who wish to make the transition from physical therapy to a regular exercise program, as well as clients with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, strokes, heart disease, and a variety of recovering injuries.
The most important step of putting a program together is to listen to my clients and find out where they are in terms of fitness goals and where they would like to be. I include the proper mix of strength, flexibility, cardiovascular, and balance training to help clients meet their specific goals. Although most of my clients would say they don't particularly enjoy exercising, most of them would tell you they have learned something or enjoyed their personal training sessions.
I have completed training in Pilates and exercise intervention for early Parkinson's. I am also a member of the American Senior Fitness Association (ASFA) and the International Dance Exercise Association (IDEA).
