As a young stay-at-home mom, I was able to prioritize taking care of my family. As enjoyable as that was, my children grew up which led to me exploring what a fulfilling life meant to me. I realized I wanted more connection and fun and the ability to engage in a way that allowed me to live life to the fullest. I went back to college in my 40s and got my degree as an Occupational Therapy Assistant. (and further went on to become certified as an ACE Personal Trainer and as a Health Coach). What I gained most from my education was the importance of allowing individuals (including myself) to define what a fulfilling life means to them. With that priority in mind, CogniFit was born.
