With a lifetime immersed in the art of dance and exercise, I’ve witnessed countless fitness trends come and go—and even return. Through it all, one truth remains: we all need to move more, yet so many of us struggle to get started. Often, the overwhelming flood of conflicting advice, sensationalized warnings, and fleeting fitness fads leaves us paralyzed. Add to that the endless stream of quick-fix diets and gimmicks that drain wallets without delivering results. It’s time to cut through the noise and get back to basics. Let’s listen to our inner trainer and prioritize sustainable, practical fitness solutions.
Fitness doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, simplicity is key. A straightforward, enjoyable routine is easier to stick with over time. So, what moves you? Do you love walking, dancing, or swimming? Do you thrive in group settings, or are you more comfortable exercising solo? Are you managing your muscles and mobility as effectively as you’re managing stress? What equipment, if any, fits your lifestyle? Let’s find what works best for you—without the unnecessary expense or complexity.


At Taking Care of Fitness, I’m here to help you navigate the fitness world. Whether it’s sifting through the hype, finding the perfect class, crafting a stress-relieving office stretch routine, or creating a no-equipment travel workout, I’ll guide you toward an approach that suits your needs.
And let’s not forget about food! Cooking is my passion—a creative outlet that fuels both body and soul. I’m an omnivore with a love for vegetarian and vegan cuisine, and I’m excited to share simple, healthy recipes to complement your fitness journey.
As a generalist, I draw from the best the fitness industry has to offer. If I believe a yoga pose or functional exercise will benefit you, I’ll integrate it into our work together. However, if you’re seeking a dedicated yoga practice or require specialized physical therapy, I’ll connect you with the right experts.
Above all, Taking Care of Fitness is about building a supportive community. Through my blog, I’ll share insights, tips, and resources, and I invite you to join the conversation. Let’s exchange ideas and learn from one another as we move toward healthier, happier lives.
Here’s to your well-being,
