About Kimberly

Hi! Thanks for stopping by to check out my profile. I love working with the elderly, and have the knowledge and experience to provide compassionate, detail-oriented care. I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses due to working as both a physical therapy assistant and an Exercise Physiologist. Some of those diagnoses include post-stroke, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, post-joint replacements, various cardiovascular diseases, and more. I am open to both in-home care as well as medical personal training. Personal training sessions can last either half an hour or an hour. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and I look forward to speaking with you! I will gladly furnish references upon request. A phone call or text is usually quickest (804.368.9767).
