Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to look at our website. I set up Vida Wellness in 2007, with the aim of bringing our Active Ageing programmes to as many people as possible. I firmly believe that people of all ages should have the opportunity to improve their health and wellbeing.
I want our members to be able to benefit from wellbeing and exercise courses in a safe, fun and sociable environment. We have a highly qualified, experienced team, but we also understand the importance of creating a fun experience, with the chance for our members to make friends.
I am an Exercise Specialist, with qualifications in Exercise Referral, Older Adult Fitness, Chronic Respiratory Disease, Osteoporosis, Chair Based Exercise and OTAGO Strength & Balance. I am a trained Cognitive Fitness Facilitator and a Postural Stability Instructor (a specialist qualification in the provision of therapeutic exercise for reducing the risk of falls).
My background includes working in consumer marketing with Unilever (in England and America) and working in local government, where I established and ran all the physical activity programmes for over 50s in the London Borough of Wandsworth.
I am excited about the future for Vida Wellness. I want to continue to grow and improve our programmes and services, and cannot do this without the help of our members and partners. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to learn more about Vida Wellness, to give me your feedback or to discuss any other ideas.
Best wishes,
Claudine
