MEET THE instructor

Hi, I'm Michele!

I've been a physical therapist for over 30 years, and I've spent all of those years working with seniors at various stages of fitness. I've become very familiar with the struggles and challenges that you face, and I've been motivated by your commitment to staying active and independent.

My mission is to help seniors on their wellness journey when you hit the road bumps that make you question whether you should stop or slow down. I'm here to provide support so you can keep going, whether it's a modifying how you move, or finding a completely different way of doing something.

Let me help you live your best life!
