How Are You Accountable?
I have 5 clients all named “Linda”. The Linda I am referring to in this blog wanted to be accountable for her wellness goals in 2016. So, she showed me how she was being accountable and in detail too! I invited her to text me every day to let me know that she got a […]
It’s Never Too Late to Start!
If you have been pondering about getting more physically fit for this new year, then the time is Jack and I both work with Baby Boomers and clients slightly younger than us, and somewhat older than us clients (and a good measure of young clients too – to […]
Float Therapy
What a great way to start the New Year! Jack and I have been doing floatation therapy since the summer of 2015. We do it for many beneficial reasons but one of the benefits is better sleep and being able to get into a relaxed state of mind. We also like to do it to […]
No Space Too Small
While doing some client program development, I was watching a “tiny house” marathon and the more I thought about this new trend, the more it made sense to me. It forces you to simplify and to declutter in a big way. Get back to basics. A couple of my clients live in mobile homes so […]
Happy New You!

A stretch session booked right after a workout […]

This means I can also work with seniors or those who find standing difficult, persons who have low endurance and post-surgical clients as well. I train clients on a chair with a high back or for clients who have more strength and stability, we […]
Christmas Turkey Rolls
For the past few Christmases, we have been roasting our butcher’s turkey rolls, made from a whole turkey breast, with the dark meat from the legs rolled up inside the breast, along with herbs and spices. Upon request, our butcher will stuff the turkey rolls too. This means no mess for me as they come […]
Christmas Tourtierre Pie
A holiday tradition for our family is to have on hand, at least one or two classic pork pies or Tourtierre pie. Sometimes we cook it when we do our family turkey and other times we cook it and eat it on it’s own with a side of pickled beets or some other condiment that […]
Hip Hip – Hooray!
In working with knee and hip replacement clients, I use some unconventional and and inexpensive equipment you can buy to do your strengthening workouts to prepare for hip or knee replacement easily with exercises at home. The furniture sliders can strengthen your shoulders and arms, which need to be strong because you will be on […]
