What Our Clients Say:

"With her guidance I was able to go from being barely able to walk because of arthritis and fibromyalgia pain to a "walker" full of hope that exercise could be relatively pain free again. The "exerstrider" walking poles she recommended and the instruction she provided in using the walking poles has changed my life. The walking poles have made a huge difference in my ability to walk for exercise and to cover rough terrain. They have made it so much easier to travel and work!" Michelle V.
