Caregiving is one of the most meaningful roles we can have—but it can also be physically and emotionally exhausting.
Join me at Whitney Rehab Care Center for a supportive discussion on practical ways to manage stress, improve sleep, support energy, and reduce burnout.
This program is designed for family caregivers, healthcare staff, and community members who spend so much of their time caring for others.
We'll explore simple, realistic strategies that can help you care for yourself while continuing to care for those who depend on you.
Join me at Whitney Rehab Care Center in Hamden.

It was fun meeting old friends and colleagues and making new ones. There was something for everyone! We had a ball and, even now, can't wait til next years' event!

It was a great night at the Chamber’s After Hours event hosted by Pat Kinsella and the staff at Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center.
So nice to be there with the ladies from the Holistic Health Council — connecting, sharing what we do, and introducing more people to the work we’re so passionate about.
Grateful for the opportunity to partner with such a welcoming community and to be part of an event that brings people together around health and well-being.

Big milestone today!!! I’m proud to share that I’ve completed the Diabetes Prevention Program and the Lifestyle Coach certification.
Helping people move better, live better, and build healthier habits has always been my passion. This training adds another way for me to support people who want to reduce their risk of diabetes and improve their overall health.
Looking forward to putting this knowledge into action!

One of the highlights of the International Women’s Day “Give to Gain” event hosted by the Connecticut Women's Consortium was hearing the inspiring story of Mfon Ogbebor.
Mfon shared how her journey began in Nigeria, where her mother continually encouraged and pushed her to pursue education and opportunity. When the chance came to move to the United States — even though she had never been outside her country — her mother once again encouraged her to take the leap.
That decision began a remarkable career path.
Starting as a bank teller, Mfon worked her way through the banking industry, navigating the many challenges that women often face in traditionally male-dominated fields. Through perseverance, resilience, and a commitment to excellence, she continued rising through the ranks and mastering every role she earned.
But she also knew she wanted to do even more.
Through the connections she built along the way — something she strongly encourages others to do — Mfon eventually transitioned into the insurance industry and today is the proud owner of the Mfon Ogbebor State Farm Agency.
After the event we had the chance to connect and talk briefly about the power of collaboration. We’re planning to meet soon over coffee to explore ways we might work together in the future.
I’m grateful to have met such an inspiring leader whose story is a reminder that perseverance, courage, and strong mentorship can truly change the course of a life. What a privilege to meet such an inspiring woman!

Today I had the privilege of attending the International Women’s Day “Give to Gain” event hosted by the Connecticut Women's Consortium.
The Consortium did an outstanding job creating a welcoming and inspiring event that brought together women from many backgrounds to share their stories, support one another, and build meaningful connections. It was beautifully organized and truly a special experience.
We heard powerful stories from four remarkable women:
• Eileen Russo, MA, LADC, who shared meaningful insights from her work supporting individuals in addiction recovery.
• Maria del Carmen Rodriguez, a Certified Sound Healer, who spoke about the powerful healing traditions passed down through her family and how those traditions shape her work today.
• Mfon Ogbebor, who shared her journey from Nigeria to the United States and how she built her future as a State Farm agency owner.
• Shelly Carter, whose leadership and perseverance led her to become Fire Chief in Hartford and now in Hamden.
Each woman brought a unique perspective, and together they created a powerful reminder of what happens when women share their stories and lift one another up.
Grateful to have been part of such an inspiring day.

A New Year of Helping People Live, Work, and Age Well

As we welcome a New Year, I am so grateful for the incredible people and communities Healthy Moves For You has been able to serve… and I’m excited for what’s ahead!

Over the past few months, I’ve expanded my work to include Corporate Wellness Speaking & Workshops, helping organizations support healthier, happier, more resilient employees.

And at the heart of everything I do remains my passion for empowering seniors and aging adults to stay strong, active, confident, and vibrant — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

This year is about:
💪 Building strength, energy, and confidence
🧠 Reducing stress and improving well-being
❤️ Supporting healthier living — at home, at work, and in every stage of life

Thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to a year of better movement, better health, and a healthier future for all of us!

If you’re interested in Corporate Wellness programs or resources for healthy aging, I’d love to connect. Let’s make this a year of thriving — not just surviving.
