I am 67 years old and developed Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2015. Up until then, I was a very active person. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an inflammatory condition which causes painful swelling of the body's joints. Due to the pain, I had to stop my usual exercises except for swimming and taking short walks. When the Covid pandemic hit, I could no longer go to pools.  I wanted to find an alternative form of strengthening exercises to do at home that would not cause injury to my joints. Fortunately, I discovered Jennifer's website!  Along with her extensive credentials and years of experience, Jennifer combines her deep understanding of the human body and medical conditions with an open, warm, empathic approach to helping her clients improve their strength and flexibility.

Working with Jennifer has been a true collaboration. She has taken the time to really understand my situation and together we have identified my goals. Her initial assessment was very thorough and I can see how dedicated she has been to designing a program adapted to my specific needs. Along with her extensive knowledge of scientifically based techniques, a huge part of Jennifer's artistry as a trainer is her ability to "tune in" to individual clients by truly listening to them - something I greatly appreciate. I also appreciate the fact that she has provided me with a detailed summary of each of our sessions including pictures demonstrating the various exercises she has taught me. She has also made herself available to respond to any clarification or concerns I may have between our sessions. 

When I started working with Jennifer, I had the tendency to try to do too much but she taught me that a gradual approach is the best way to go to reach my goals and not injure myself.  She helped me find a pace that works for me. She has supported and encouraged me through the whole process and I am delighted with the progress I have made. I am now able to do exercises that I never thought I would be able to do. I have looked forward to each and every session and I feel more hopeful and stronger in the face of a very challenging medical condition.  I am deeply indebted to Jennifer for helping me to get here and for cheering me on! She's the best!
