Looking to improve your physical and mental capacity as you age?

As we age we often lose touch with the things that used to bring us joy, both physically and mentally.

With correct programming and realistic goals we can regain that lost capacity and once again enjoy the pursuits that meant so much to us.

I am passionate about the use of Yoga, Massage, Resistance Training, Meditation and Mental Training as interventions in order to help those looking to regain, improve or maintain their physical and mental capacities.
