My mission is one of health promotion. I want to help you add more movement, both exercise and non-exercise activity, to your busy life so you can feel better and enjoy life. Are you too busy to go to a gym to workout? Perhaps you're uncomfortable working out in a public setting. I make fitness more accessible to you.  My first book, Move More, Your Life Depends On It: Practical Tips to Add More Movement to Your Day, offers common sense solutions to help you add non-exercise activity to your busy life.  My second book, Balance and Your Body: How Exercise Can Help You Avoid a Fall, is geared to seniors who want to maintain their independence and prevent falls. If you're a professional sitter, and you spend too many hours in a seated position every day, my third book, Your Job Is Killing You: A User's Guide to Sneaking Exercise Into Your Work Day, is for you. But there are many more books from which to choose: visit the Books section of my website for more information.

The online courses, 3 Days to Better Balance and Balance 2.0,  are now unlocked and available for free.
These mini courses will help you improve body awareness and coordination,  strengthen your brain-body connection, and learn how to use your feet more - taking off your shoes and getting those feet activated! ​The exercises and tips are designed to improve muscle strength, joint flexibility, and body awareness. All of these components are critical to maintaining good balance as you age.


What's Your Movement Factor? ​The Move More Institute™ Can Help!

Land Acknowledgement

I live and work on the traditional and unceded Algonquin Anishinaabe territory. Algonquin people have lived in the Ottawa Valley for at least 8,000 years before the Europeans arrived in North America, and are the customary keepers and defenders of the Ottawa River Watershed and its tributaries. From coast to coast to coast, I acknowledge the ancestral and unceded territory of all the Inuit, Métis, and First Nations people who call this land home.
