CAROLINE FOLEY
Caroline considers herself an accidental athlete. Partly because she was always picked last in gym class and sidelined by injuries, but mostly because a car accident led her down the road to health and wellness. In physical therapy, she learned the joy of movement and of helping people feel better in their bodies. In 2012, she enrolled in a 200-hour yoga teacher training and has not stopped collecting certifications since. Through yoga, powerlifting, and running marathons, she somehow became the athlete she never believed she was. Her goal is to help others discover their own joy in exercise. Whether you are a seasoned athlete with injuries, a new parent looking to get back on track, or someone who has no idea what a dumbbell is, she is happy to help!
Caroline holds a Master’s of Science in Health and Wellness Management. Her certifications include :
Pilates
Adaptive Yoga, Pre-Post Natal
