At Soaring Seniors, Unlimited, we turn the 'aging' story on its head! Led by Rita, a long-term endurance athlete with a doctorate and decades as an RN, we empower those 50+ to reclaim vitality. With strategies from Rita's life, experience, and her book, "Soaring Seniors," we make every year count. Let's defy age together and love life in expansive energy, contribution and joy!

As a Soaring Senior, I am saddened by so many people I see in my age group (and younger) who are living less vibrant lives than they could be. We live in a time when people expect to live 4Ds...Diminishment, Deterioration, Disease, Death as seniors. The message is aging is out of our control! NOT! There is so much we can do to not only slow our biological ageing, but even reverse it. What if we can be centenarians living expansive lives that create joy? What if our children don't need to worry about us as we age? What if we can love our lives no matter how many trips we've made around the sun?

In my early 50s, I began to notice as I checked out of the supermarket, those bagging my groceries were putting fewer items in a bag than when I was younger. My conclusion was that seeing my hair and facial wrinkles they inferred that I was in 4Ds. Having been a lifelong athlete, I got passionate about helping people get inspired and take action...InspirACTion.

I had attitudes and skills from years of athletic activity that I knew would be of benefit. I had done the Hawaii Ironman, climbed to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro and solo-through-hiked the Appalachian Trail. I was a BHAG Lady (Big Hairy Audacicous Goals). Those skills and attitudes are transferable! My passion is inspiring others to take action and live with more joy and prosperity!
