Hi Pilates community,
I wanted to share something a little different with you today!
As many of you know, I've spent the last 26 years teaching Pilates, but before that, I worked as a Physiotherapy Assistant and Occupational Therapy Assistant. I also completed my Social Service Worker in Gerontology training through Seneca College.
Over the years, I've realized just how much I love working with seniors, and I've been thinking about a way to bring all of those experiences together again.
So… I've been working on something new called Nana's Helper. 💕
It's a little idea that's grown into something I'm really excited about!
Nana's Helper will offer private daytime companionship and wellness visits for seniors living at home, in retirement residences or in long-term care.
Think chatting over a cup of tea, reminiscing, reading, playing a game, helping organize some mail or a purse, gentle chair Pilates, breathing exercises, meditation, or simply having someone there who has the time to sit and listen.
It's about connection, meaningful moments and making someone's day a little brighter.
I know so many families are juggling work, kids and busy lives while also worrying about their parents or grandparents. Sometimes you just wish there was someone kind who could pop in and spend some quality time with someone you love.
That's the heart behind Nana's Helper.
I'm just getting started, and I'm beginning to connect with families to see who might be interested in learning more.
And this is where you might be able to help!
Maybe you have a parent, grandparent, friend or neighbour who could benefit from some extra companionship. Or perhaps you know someone who works with seniors and would be happy to pass the idea along.
I've put together a little page where you can learn more and sign up if you'd like to hear about Nana's Helper as it develops.

And don't worry - if you're here for Pilates, you'll still hear from me about Pilates! I know not everyone will need this new service, so I'm keeping Nana's Helper updates separate - add your email here if you want to know more about this new service.
As always, thank you for being part of my little In Balance Pilates community. So many of you have been in my world for years, and it means a lot to be able to share new ideas with you.
And if someone comes to mind who might need a Nana's Helper, please feel free to pass the link along.
