Lori Officer

I LOVE being active and I love helping others find their passion for living an active lifestyle. In 1991, I began teaching group exercise and realized each participant had a different set of gifts and challenges. I was drawn to helping individuals overcome their challenge(s) and limiting beliefs. Since 1997, I have worked primarily with older adults and adults with known disease who had been physically limited by their illness/injury and also held back by a fear and belief that certain activities where not available to them. It is exciting and gratifying when a person realizes that he/she has so much MORE endurance, strength, coordination and overall physical and mental/emotional ability than what they had thought possible. Not only is physical pain alleviated but self-confidence, sense of achievement and overall happiness improves. I feel blessed to be a part of each client's path to personal improvement. In 2006, I completed my 1000 hour Holistic Health Practitioner certification and began practicing massage therapy, thus adding in a more diverse set of clientele, ranging from frail elderly to clients of all ages with known pathology to competing ultra endurance and Crossfit athletes. I believe when people feel strong and confident their personal relationships and overall contribution to their communities become stronger.
