Mission
Over 20 years ago I did not think I would make it this far. I survived a heart attack. I asked the Lord to help me change my life with the goal of helping and serving others.
If someone had told me over 20 years ago that I would become a certified personal trainer, functional aging specialist and a nutritional coach, I never would have believed it.
My life has become so broadened and enriched with experiences encompassing all ages from 2 to 96 year olds sharing in my joy in dance and music.
Time is my enemy, there just isn’t enough of it to learn and to obtain the vast amount of knowledge that is available. So I strive to focus my learning efforts towards how I can better serve the students in my classes. Every song choice, every movement included in the choreography and every rhythm considered to make a playlist that is as entertaining and enjoyable but still delivers a fitness goal. To learn Tai Chi, Weightlifting for Women and Simple Yoga Poses helps with teaching maintenance of living our daily lives.
Learning gives me energy to share.
The more energy I expend, the more energy finds me. All of YOU give me that energy.
-Revelations of so many of you always tooting my horn for me.
-So many of my peers sharing their journey with me.
I am humbled by your faith in my abilities.
So wonderful are all the miracles that have come my way.
I have lived these past 18 years with hope and thankfulness - my second chance in life. I want to do my best to make it count.
I owe it to all of you. Every time we meet, it is joy in my life.
I look forward to continuing our adventures together.
It is important to me. You are important to me
Vision
Keep yourself active - don't just sit!
Eat well and move.
