I am the creator of Design for Fitness and have been working in fitness and nutrition for over 30 years. I re-examine the tools we have been using to lead healthier lives by taking a fresh look at some of the challenges we face. Obstacles such as images created by the fitness industry, commercialism in gyms, pressure from those selling the latest fad, body/brain chemistry, human nature, fast food, and our own busy lives and current lifestyles.
My passion is helping people become healthier, more energetic, and able to move better by making fitness and nutrition a regular and accessible part of their lives.

Resistance to changing our health habits is rampant. But, there is a reason for that! We are not lazy, morally deficient, or lacking in willpower. The truth is, it is human nature to resist!
My blogs explain why, and offer solutions that are not loaded with “shoulds.” Solutions can be found by finding your own awareness of what is behind the choices you make. Awareness can bring you new, useful, insights into what may have been derailing you in the past, and give you creative ways to approach your health goals that really work.
