Mission Statement

Powder-snowing-Snapshot (2).png

My mission IS my passion IS my purpose .......

​

to change the way we age AND the ‘pace’ at which we age

​

to reshape the perception of aging as an active, engaged and stimulating journey that offers on-going opportunities to grow, learn and contribute throughout the life stages

​​

to alter the course(s) people can choose to optimize and fully engage their second, third and fourth stages of life, and change the trajectory of their aging curve

​

to dismantle the all-to-common spiral of inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle towards ‘mobility disability’

​

to press the movement professional into re-evaluating their perception of ‘successful aging’

​

to challenge movement professionals to expand their adult programming repertoire from Rx's and workouts, to preparation for participation and fulfillment in a Life Span of Active Aging

​

to re-define how allied health and medical professionals view active aging

​

to revamp the 'messaging' designed to inspire active aging

​

to impact how academia prepares movement professionals to engage and interact with ‘active agers' to extend their 'health span' 

​

to urge movement scientists to design and implement studies with a greater focus on application, translation and transfer to the practitioner and the individual.
