you're so welcome here
I help women 40+ rebuild their movement foundation so their knees, spine, and balance stay protected—on the trail, on the court, and in everyday life.
Midlife brings change, but it also brings opportunity.
Did you know?
👉 Adults begin losing 3–5% of muscle mass per decade after age 30! (1)
The good news is that targeted strength training can reverse much of this loss.
Building muscle improves joint stability, posture, and everyday movement.
Inside The Glutes Lab, we focus on strengthening the glutes + core—the muscles that protect your knees and spine and create a stable foundation for movement.
👉Muscle strength can decline by about 10% per decade without training starting in your 50's! (2)
When your training matches what your body needs in midlife, consistency becomes easier — and consistency builds real-life confidence.
Regaining strength at your current baseline means:
• stairs feel easier
• hills feel doable
• long walks feel enjoyable again
Your Movement Age™ Report shows exactly where you're losing strength + balance and helps guide the plan we build inside The Glutes Lab and your follow-up training.
👉Strategic strength and balance training can reduce fall risk by up to 40% (3).
Better balance means fewer stumbles and more freedom to do what you love.
Private sessions guide you through a step-by-step strength-and-balance plan so your results compound month after month.

Hey, I’m Holly,
physical therapist & pilates teacher
As a physical therapist with over 22 years of experience and a master Pilates instructor, I help women 40+ rebuild the strength and stability that protect the knees, spine, and balance for decades to come.
I help you identify the root cause of pain—not just where it hurts—so you can move with confidence again. Whether your goal is hiking, lifting, traveling, or simply staying strong and independent, we focus on building the strength and movement capacity that supports an active life.
Care may include dry needling, hands-on manual therapy, and Pilates-based movement retraining to create lasting change. Each session is a focused, one-hour visit with reassessment built in, allowing us to track progress in real time and prioritize the strategies that deliver both pain relief and long-term performance.
If you’re new here, start with Your Movement Age™ Report, a simple assessment that reveals how your strength, balance, and mobility compare to age-based norms and where to focus your training next.
You can also start with The Glutes Lab, a reformer-based intensive designed to restore hip strength and core control, or choose a Private Session Package for personalized guidance and faster progress.
I am excited to work with you!
XX, Holly
