Holistic Trainer

A pioneer in the field of mind/body health and fitness, Gloria's work draws on her training and certifications in strength training (weights), cardio fitness, yoga, t'ai chi ch'uan, and meditation. This diverse background gives her a unique understanding of the body and mind and how they affect each other. Her lectures and workshops, in both the public and private sectors, have been presented for groups as diverse as The Duke University Mind/Body Medicine Conference, the United Nations in Geneva, IONS L.A., and numerous others. She is often a featured speaker at fitness conventions in the U.S. and Europe.

Gloria is the author of two ground-breaking books on mind/body health, and has spread her unique approach to fitness worldwide as the founder and director of the Strong, Stretched & Centered Mind/Body Fitness Training Institute in Maui, Hawaii. The Institute has prepared thousands of graduates from 35 countries to be holistic fitness trainers. (See www.BeFitAfterFifty.com)

Whether working one-on-one or delivering a keynote to thousands, she is committed to making the world a healthier place, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Her presentations are lively and fun. They leave the participants with a deep and satisfying connection with their own body, and an understanding of how to create a richer and more satisfying daily life.
