Have we met?

I’m Andrea. I’ve been a licensed Physical Therapist (with both Master's and Doctoral degrees) for quite a while now, but I am not ready to stop being active or helping other women live their best lives, even as we approach retirement age. I am also a therapeutic yoga teacher. I love to hike, walk, run, travel, explore and a whole lot more. If I ever retire, it will only be to make more time for exploring and taking on more adventures.

Right before I turned 50, I discovered my Vitamin D levels were well below normal. This was alarming because I realized my bones were losing density, and I wasn’t doing all that much to counter the loss. I poured over the research and changed my practice to online education so I could share my knowledge with more women.

I realized if I could be caught off guard and experience bone loss, it would be a big problem I could help address.

Strong Women, Strong Bones is my 5-week online program designed to teach you everything you need to know to stay informed, strong, and live without fear.

See what others have to say:

I just finished the program and it was well worth the time/fee. I learned a lot and developed some new good habits which I’m continuing to practice. I knew a lot going into the class, but wow, Andrea knew a lot more than I did, so I got a lot from it.

“I love Andrea’s classes because as a Physical Therapist, she knows how to keep me from injuring myself during workouts. And it’s fun and short!”

Barb
Thank you for the gift of your PT skills and knowledge that you share. Your practice is making a difference in my life and in the lives of all the women you support. Thank you, so much!

I had a scan in November 2021 that showed bone loss to the point of osteopenia. I wanted to take action right away, and I joined Andrea's Jump Start class in January 2022, and then transitioned to join her class of "regulars". I had a dexa scan in November, 2022 and had improvement in my hip and femoral neck, and my spine T score stayed the same. I no longer have osteopenia! I did not change my diet and I did not take supplements, the only thing I did differently during the year between dexa scans was to follow Andrea's Strong Women classes.

Who exactly is this program for?

You want to know exactly where to start — You may have you been told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis, know you need to do weight-bearing exercise, and you want a specific plan that is safe for your diagnosis.
You would prefer to exercise at home — You need to do weight-bearing exercises to keep your bones strong, but you don’t like gyms.
You want a program that is built specifically for beginners with osteoporosis or osteopenia — Everything we do will be safe for you, you don’t have to worry about getting lost or hurt.
You are looking for community — You don’t have to exercise alone. Inside Strong Women, Strong Bones, exercising at home is FUN (which also means you won’t quit. A whole community is behind you.)
You want to do everything you can to improve your DEXA scan t-score — Inside Strong Women, Strong Bones, we focus on specific weight training and a walking routine to help you do just that.

You’ve got questions,
I’ve got answers

Yes! I teach the classes live in EST, and I record them as well. I will send the ZOOM recording to everyone shortly after class concludes. You will get it in your inbox. The ZOOM link is good for about 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, the classes are moved to my Content Library where you can watch them for an additional month.
I got you. I will show you what the exercises are, how to hold the weights and how to listen to your body. You can even start without any weights if you are fearful. Almost everyone in the class has some form of bone loss. We will all support each other.
Absolutely! This program is suitable for beginners and women who have been doing exercise but don’t think it is safe for someone with bone loss. Andrea modifies the exercises for many abilities, so you can build strength and confidence at your own pace. If you can get up and down off of the floor at least one time, you should be able to do it without a problem.
The recorded classes and educational sessions are available for an additional 30 days after the program ends. This should give you plenty of time to complete the program and account for any time you miss due to illness or vacation.
Inside Strong Women, Strong Bones, the people who get the best results are those who:
And those who have said they want:

The program focuses on weight-bearing exercises and yoga, both of which have been shown to improve bone density, muscle strength, and balance. In addition, these exercises can enhance posture and reduce the risk of falls. Each class is specifically designed to target areas most vulnerable to fractures, like the spine, hips, and wrists, while improving overall strength and flexibility.
For Weights & Core class: You’ll need a set of light to moderate free weights (e.g., 2–10 lbs, depending on your strength level). Sneakers you can wear inside.
For Yoga: a yoga mat, 2 foam yoga blocks, a blanket or two.
Yes! All classes are recorded, so if you miss a live session, you can catch up at your convenience. This allows you to stay on track with the program, even if your schedule doesn’t always align with the live class times. There are no classes on Wednesdays, which is a good day to catch up as well.
If your link isn’t working, and it has been less than two weeks since the class was taught, try logging out of ZOOM and logging back in. ZOOM does regular upgrades and occassionally needs to be reloaded.
