Lifestyle habits such as physical activity, quality of the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, the friends we have, the job we do in the world, affects our health on every level, body, mind and spirit.

Let's peek into the kind of activities she encourages older adults to do:

Dr. Shellie says, "do any physical activity that you enjoy, run, walk, hike, yoga, bicycle, dance, chair exercises, cooking classes, laugh every day. Spend time with people who you love and who love and respect you, surround yourself with upbeat friends and family, follow a spiritual path, play, rest, work in a healthy environment. Find people on your emotional, spiritual and intellectual level where there is an exchange of good, healthy energy. We can't convince people to grow and change. We can only nspire them.

Dr. Shellie works with individuals and groups, in person, online or on the telephone, providing wellness seminars, workshops, Laughter Yoga sessions and Dance Fitness Classes. She has designed Chair Dance classes for those with physical/neurological limitations.

If you want to reduce the stress in your life and increase joy and inner peace, change your thinking and it will change your life. If you can't move away from a negative situation, then change your attitude about it.
She teaches her clients to take charge of their wellbeing by changing habits that no longer serve them.

Dr. Shellie's promise to you is that she will provide necessary tools and motivation to help you to help yourself, to strengthen your body, mind and spirit to age gracefully, from the inside out.
