Founder, Get Unbent NOW!/Inspiration, Motivation, Transformation

As a long-time fitness professional, performer, writer, coach, and motivator, I was shocked and scared in October 2022, when I was diagnosed out of the blue with breast cancer that quickly spread to my liver. I told my family and friends, got my papers in order and thought, “this is it.”

But then everything inside me rebelled! I’m a fighter – I would challenge myself to become the fittest and strongest I could be! And so I decided at age 75 to participate in a natural bodybuilding competition, as I had done, once, 21 years earlier. I called the owners of the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation and asked if they thought I could participate. The response was a resounding “YES”!

It was a difficult journey, but I did it - twice! And along the way I learned that I was inspiring others – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I started Get Unbent NOW! to continue doing just that – by example, one on one, and in groups. My message: Give yourself permission to become the best you can be, no matter your age or fitness level when embarking on this adventure! You can do this!

My current programs include: Posture Power for Confidence; Starting Your Fitness Journey; Getting Started with Resistance Bands; Getting Started with Free Weights; and Get Motivated Now! We will work via Zoom. Get in touch with me NOW to get started.
