KORIography

I am a personal trainer with over 20 years experience in fitness and wellness. I entered this career due to orthopedic difficulties from my own EDS and became the “go to” trainer at my hospital affiliated gym, accepting clients with a wide variety of diseases. This experience forced my deeper learning and a bookful of additional certifications, including aquatic therapy and yoga. I work with people one-on-one, helping them find their own strength and confidence in moving their bodies to the best of their ability so they can more fully enjoy life. My coaching often includes lifestyle factors such as stress reduction, goal setting, nutrition, and the importance of recovery and celebration! My focus in movement for hEDS lies in proper alignment and execution. I have managed to keep my knees from surgery despite the fact that both have been “bone-on-bone” (due to extraneous lateral movement; when I was diagnosed with EDS) for over 25 years! Through consistent personalized steps, with both accountability and adaptability, backed by many years of experience and my passion for updated research, clients discover strength of mind, body and spirit beyond their hopes.

New Jersey has no in-state EDS Center of Excellence. Mount Sinai South Nassau Chiari EDS Center in Oceanside, New York is the nearest Center of Excellence for northern New Jersey patients. The NYIT EDS/Hypermobility Treatment Center is also accessible from northern New Jersey. Southern New Jersey patients can access CHOP and Penn State Health's EDS Program in Pennsylvania.
