Active Living
Made Easy
Meet Melissa
We all want our parents and grandparents to age safely and comfortably in their own homes. Not just live longer, but live better.
As a Kinesiologist, I’ve learned that “aging well” requires movement: frequent, consistent movement that builds strength, balance, and confidence. And sometimes, it takes someone energetic and encouraging to come in, guide the movements, and make it feel achievable.
While working at a physiotherapy clinic, I recognized a gap in care for older patients. Too often, I saw them being discharged early, left to fend for themselves at home at a time when they still needed professional support. Because I have always loved working with older adults (ever since my first volunteer position at a local retirement community), I realized this was an opportunity to help an often over-looked demographic.
From this, HomeStretch was born. I now have a team of experienced, caring Kinesiologists servicing seniors all around Vancouver.
