Move Young Live Young

You Don't Need Another Workout.

Sometimes your body needs more than a workout.

Maybe you've had surgery. Maybe you're preparing for one.

Maybe you've finished physical therapy, but you're nowhere near where you want to be.

Maybe you have Parkinson's or COPD.

Maybe an injury changed the way you move.

Maybe your career is beating up your body.

Or maybe you've done everything you were told to do, and something still doesn't feel right.

That's where I come in.

I created AgeDEFY Movement Therapy for injured and aging movers who need a different approach to movement.

I don't believe everyone needs the same program.

I want to know what's happening with YOUR body.

I Work With Special Cases.

I especially love working with:

  • People with Parkinson's who want to keep moving and challenge mobility, balance, posture, coordination, strength, and brain-body connection.

  • Joint replacement clients including hip, knee, and shoulder replacements.

  • Pre-surgery clients who want to spend the months before surgery getting stronger, moving better, and preparing their body for recovery.

  • Post-surgery clients who have completed rehabilitation or physical therapy and are ready to keep going.

  • People living with COPD who want movement, posture, mobility, breathing work, and conditioning to be part of caring for their body.

  • People going through or recovering from cancer treatment who want movement and community to support their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

  • Injured movers who have finished traditional rehabilitation but know they aren't finished rebuilding.

  • People whose careers are hard on their bodies and need movement strategies that help them continue doing the work they love.

  • Athletes and active adults trying to return to or stay in the activities they don't want to give up.

  • Complicated cases where something still doesn't move or feel the way it should, even after you've done everything you were told to do.

Bring me the movement problem you haven't been able to figure out. I can help.

Before Surgery. After Rehab. And Everything In Between.

I believe preparation matters.

When possible, I love having three months before a planned surgery or joint replacement to work on mobility, strength, balance, posture, breathing, and the movement skills you'll need during recovery.

After physical therapy, I want to help you figure out what comes next.

Once you're medically cleared and ready for the next step, we can continue building strength, mobility, balance, confidence, and the movement you need for the life you actually want to live.

Studio BodyAbility | Springfield, Missouri

The AgeDEFY Prehab + Rehab Studio

Springfield, Missouri

If you're local, come see me.

Studio BodyAbility is my small-group movement studio for injured movers, aging movers, prehab, post-rehab, and special cases.

This isn't a traditional group fitness class.

Bring me what's going on with your body.

Maybe it's your shoulder.

Your hip replacement.

Your back.

Parkinson's.

COPD.

An old injury that keeps showing up.

A physically demanding career that's beating up your body.

Or maybe you finished physical therapy, and you're wondering what you're supposed to do next.

Come in.

Let's talk about it.

Then let's move.

Tuesdays at Studio BodyAbility

Only 5 people per session.

I intentionally keep these sessions small because I want to work with the people in the room.

And there's something special about doing this work together.

Your movement problem helps someone else learn.

The way we modify something for one person gives someone else an idea.

A question about your shoulder might help the person next to you understand something about their own body.

We learn from each other's bodies.

That's movement, coaching, and community—the AgeDEFY way.

$20 Cash Drop-In

Reservations are required because there are only five spots.

Reserve your spot online and bring $20 cash when you arrive.

After you reserve, you'll receive information about where to park, where to go, what to bring, and what to expect.

No membership required.

Come once.

Come every Tuesday.

Use me when you need me.

[RESERVE MY $20 TUESDAY SPOT]

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOUR $20 SESSION?

Start Here.

Then We'll Figure It Out.

You don't need to know what kind of program you need before you walk through my door.

That's part of why Studio BodyAbility exists.

Come see me.

Let me watch you move. Tell me what's been happening with your body.

Let's try some new movement.

From there, I can help you determine the best plan for your recovery.

Maybe you come back for another Tuesday session.

Maybe I give you movements to work on at home.

Maybe you follow AgeDEFY Online between visits.

Or maybe your situation needs more individual attention, and we talk about private training.

You don't have to figure that out before you come see me.

At Studio BodyAbility in Springfield, we figure it out together.

AgeDEFY Private Movement Therapy

Private Training For Special Cases

If your body needs more individual attention, you can work with me privately from anywhere.

These are not personal training sessions. AgeDEFY private training is a movement therapy program for injured movers.

We use our private sessions to look closely at how you move, experiment with movement, build new strategies, and determine what your body needs. Then you keep working between our sessions through live AgeDEFY classes, online workouts, weekly programming, and coaching.

Your Private Program Includes:

  • 4 private 1:1 sessions per month held locally or on Zoom

  • Live AgeDEFY classes on Zoom with the AgeDEFY online community

  • Access to the AgeDEFY online workout library

  • Weekly workout guidance based on your needs

  • After-class coaching during live Zoom classes

  • Ongoing adjustments as we learn how your body responds

The goal isn't to give everyone the same exercises. The AgeDEFY way is to figure out what YOUR body needs.

Save $150 compared with three individual months.

For complicated cases, I love having 90 days.

It gives us time to learn your body, experiment, make adjustments, and build new movement patterns.

Private training starts with a conversation.

Before I accept someone into private training, I want to know what's happening with their body and what they're hoping to accomplish.

That's why your first step is a free 30-minute consultation.

Tell me:

  • What's going on?

  • What have you been through?

  • What have you already tried?

  • What are you struggling to do?

  • And what do you want to get back to doing?

If we decide to work together, I'll send you the appropriate registration and payment link after our consultation.
