Aquatics
It began when I started at Masonic Village over 30 years ago. My passion has always been in helping others, and in doing so, I feel I have grown in the different dimensions of wellness as well. I have felt proudest anytime a member has mentioned that what I showed them helped them in one way or another, such as when a personal training client needs the lift to enter the pool at first and then progresses to entering and exiting the pool via the steps.

I began this career instructing in a retirement community in Lititz and enjoyed helping the members become stronger and more balanced by exercising. I enjoy watching the progression with my clients and members of the classes I instruct. They are all an inspiration to me as to what I can continue to accomplish as I age myself. My personal wellness accomplishments include multiple medals and trophies for triathlons and running races.

Neurodegenerative disorders, including multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, running programs, general fitness training and Yoga instructor.
Wellness became my passion during a personal battle that began when I was 18. I enjoy helping others because it fulfills me and I feel like we were put on this earth to help each other in some way. My personal wellness goals are to run in a 100 mile race before I’m 40 and just to stay happy and grateful for my health and what I have. My proudest accomplishment related to fitness has been helping someone learn to walk again after years of being unable.

Everyone has a passion that drives them forward in life. My passion, simply put, is helping people to better themselves and make life a little simpler. This passion led me to a career in wellness. So far, through my aquatics classes, I have been able to help residents improve their overall strength, flexibility and balance. With time, I hope I am able to help more people.
