“I love the [Movement for Life] class; it has made a huge difference in my physical health and well-being. More than anything though, I love your irrepressible spirit. How you manage to communicate so much love and laughter over the internet is a mystery. A good mystery that is, for which I am forever grateful.”
Check out this out! I was interviewed on SubKit about my Movement for Life story and my experience of becoming an entrepreneur.

I am a movement educator and mama of two. My mission is to create and share joyful, accessible and practical movement classes for the Older Adult Community.
Over the past decade, I have studied with experts in the fields of anatomy, yoga, somatics, biomechanics, breath-work and the nervous system.
My unique approach originated from working with my very own father which led to the creation of Movement for Life, a program thoughtfully and creatively designed for Older Adults. In these classes you learn to improve quality of life through mind-body connection, physical conditioning, mobility exercises, and confidence building techniques.
These classes empower you with the tools you need to sustain your physical and mental health.
I am a firm believer that there is no age-limit for positive change and self-improvement.
I currently teach all movement classes online. I have led many in-person and online deep-dive movement workshops. I have taken dozens of people on domestic and international retreats, combining my love of travel, nature, movement and down-to- earth humans. I have also hosted online community storytelling evenings where all storytellers were 65 years old and beyond!
More group walks and community lunches in NYC are on the horizon and I always have exciting projects in the works that will strive to serve the older population.
When I’m not teaching, I spend my time with my young sons (River and Cyrus), my partner in crime (Garreth) and my dog (Kiwi). I love taking long city walks, playing in the woods upstate, and coming up with new ways of making beneficial movement practices available to bodies of all ages, sizes and abilities.
