I taught 20+ classes per week at a premiere facility aimed at individuals over the age of 50. I trained many folks dealing with a variety of needs (post-rehabilitation, low back issues, knee and hip replacements, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease). I also helped people find their own path to a healthy lifestyle as a wellness coach.
