I raised four children in Deerfield, Illinois — my greatest accomplishment and joy. As they grew older, I realized it was time to build a career for myself. With a lifelong passion for fitness, becoming a personal trainer felt like a natural next step. But something was missing… until I shifted my focus to seniors (age 50+). That’s when everything changed.

I found purpose, fulfillment, and a deep appreciation for the importance of keeping seniors mobile, active, and independent. My clients valued the work I did for them — and I felt honored to help improve their quality of life.

Over time, I noticed that nearly all seniors face physical challenges such as joint pain, mobility limitations, or post-surgical weakness. Being over 50 myself, I could fully relate. So I expanded my education and became a Specialist in Senior Fitness and a Specialist in Exercise Therapy to better support their needs.

This work has become more than a career. My clients have become friends — even family. I cook for them, run errands, accompany them to appointments, take them to the Botanic Gardens, or simply spend time with them when they’re lonely. I feel privileged to be part of their lives.

Helping seniors stay strong, confident, and independent brings me more joy than anything else. There is no greater reward than watching them achieve their goals and reclaim their mobility.
