Hi, I’m Kathy!

I’m a fitness enthusiast and lifelong Rhode Islander, passionate about helping older adults enhance their quality of life both in body and mind. I empower people throughout the aging journey, to improve their mobility and strength through balance, breath and movement practices.

I know what it’s like to juggle responsibilities and commit to make wellness a priority at all stages of life. I’ve raised two amazing, strong girls into successful young women, and coached youth gymnastics, soccer, and basketball while co-founding a successful fitness and wellness consulting company. With over 35 years experience in the health and fitness industry, I’ve worked with adults to maintain their quality of life, as they age, through balancing healthy lifestyles and regular movement.

I earned my B.S. in Exercise Science and shortly after co-founded Pro Health, Inc., a fitness and wellness consulting and management company. In 2007, I joined the incredible team at Preventure Inc., and continued bringing my passion to the corporate wellness industry. In my years training and coaching clients in corporate fitness centers, I realized that my clients weren’t only saving money (up to $500/year!) on healthcare costs, they were also improving relationships and meeting personal goals. Fitness was impacting more than just their time in the gym. It was changing their lives all around.

Having seen the power of fitness first hand, I started ShipShape™ to use my expertise to empower other adults in their personal journeys. It’s more than a destination, it’s about building lifelong health. Set sail with me and sea the results!

Along with my passion for fitness, I enjoy sailing and powerboating, hiking, gardening, and spending time with my husband, daughters and godchildren.
