How EssentialSteps Helped Karen

Increasing awareness
“I am so happy I had the opportunity to work with Michelle. After an adulthood of simply not being able to get myself to stick with any kind of exercise, my perspective has completely changed……at 59 years of age. Actually identifying my resistance, the underlying causes for that resistance, and the reasons I do want to exercise has helped me understand myself so much better. I can hear the little voice in my head that insists other things are so much more important, and just not let it influence me. I can give myself a pat on the back for small increments of movement….when a planned exercise activity falls through….and enjoy the longer walk or using the stairs because I know all of it contributes to my desire for a healthy life.”

Feeling joyful, inspired and stronger
“My objective in working with Michelle doing EssentialSteps was to thrive and enjoy my aging years. Movement….now that I am doing it…..is so obviously a critical component of that outcome. I have found a dance class I really love, go to one of two classes every week, and am now planning to join a gym to use those weights to become stronger. I feel joyful, lively and inspired. EssentialSteps and Michelle helped change my life. I have, and will, recommend this program to all of my friends.”
