The Fall Prevention Lady has moved to paradise...

Seasons change and sometimes life does, too.   I lived in Sacramento for ten years, got my Masters degree in Therapeutic Aging from Sac State and started my own business as the Fall Prevention Lady; a fall prevention consultant, balance and mobility specialist, published author and public speaker.   The FallProof™ balance and mobility training classes that I taught in the Sacramento community changed lives and the participants loved me.

Unfortunately, the economy has hit older adults and senior service providers especially hard.  Lack of reimbursement from insurance companies for preventative balance training is the number one barrier to my making a living in Sacramento but budget cuts within leading senior agencies and lack of discretionary income for seniors living in the community made it impossible for me to survive in Sacramento. 

I prayed and guess what?  You better watch what you pray for!  After several job interviews, I was offered a job as a personal fitness trainer for a leading fitness company, Equinox in Palos Verdes.  The demographic at this club is a perfect fit for me as the average age is 65!  My co-workers are true professionals in the field of functional fitness and each has a special niche.  I am so excited about the learning opportunities....

I am also working with my bosses to offer FallProof™ balance training at the club.  If Equinox doesn't want to offer the class, there are four other sites in the area that are interested.  I will be teaching my 4-week progressively challenging balance training program in the Palos Verdes/Rancho Palos Verdes/Rolling Hills Estates region soon!  God didn't bring me down here not to use me!

Great news....I will be offering my Fall Prevention 101™ workshop in the area, too.  I have 4 workshops scheduled for December.  If you live in the South Bay and are concerned falls or are concerned about a loved one falling, visit my website for my local workshop schedule.  Classes will begin in early January, 2013.

Time to spread the word and let people know the Fall Prevention Lady is here in southern California.  Praise God.
