Meet Sita
I’m a seasoned Physical Therapist turned Holistic Aging Specialist, Health and Wellness Consultant, and Certified Senior Advisor®. I specialize in helping individuals prepare for aging intentionally with grace and vitality.
Hi there! I'm a Physical Therapist with extensive experience in both hospital and home health settings. I love working with aging adults and enjoy helping them stay healthy as well as prepare for aging at home. Throughout my career, I've encountered a common frustration: the lack of education and unbiased resources for individuals approaching or at Medicare age regarding their health coverage and what to expect as they age. Countless patients, including my own mother, have asked why certain services or medications aren't covered by their insurance. Despite my healthcare background, navigating Medicare's complexities when choosing her plan was challenging; and we later discovered significant gaps in coverage that were not disclosed by various organizations we consulted.
My goal is to help older adults prepare for difficult conversations about safe and confident aging. I've seen firsthand the consequences of not having legally binding forms like a POLST or Advance Health Care Directive in place, as verbal wishes alone may not be honored in hospital settings. I aim to be a transparent resource, guiding aging adults through the aging process with honesty and confidence using a holistic approach.
As a Home Health Physical Therapist, I frequently encountered patients asking why their insurance didn't cover certain services, why they were being discharged too soon, and why they faced endless bills despite meeting their deductibles. Similarly, while helping my mother choose her healthcare plan, we were frustrated by biased parties pushing plans without transparency.
I prioritize transparency, offering all the information needed for informed healthcare decisions. My mission is to empower aging adults with the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to embrace intentional aging and maintain a vibrant and fulfilling life.
I help individuals embrace aging with confidence through a holistic approach.

Fun Facts!
Sourdough Bread
I was on a quest for the ultimate sourdough masterpiece, tweaking flour ratios like a mad scientist. But just when I thought I nailed it, my mischievous pup, Tobi, swooped in and snagged two loaves off the counter! All I was left with was half a loaf riddled with giant doggy bite marks. Looks like Tobi's got some expensive taste in bread!
Tobi the Husky
He was a total handful until he hit the terrible twos, but now? He's my ultimate cuddle buddy, teaching me a thing or two about living in the moment. He's like my furry guru, reminding me to relax and enjoy the present moment without stressing over what's to come. Who knew a little troublemaker could be such a wise teacher?
Pickleball Anyone?
Like many people, I learned about pickleball during the height of the pandemic. Pickleball is my jam! It's not just a sport; it's my social scene. Whether I'm rallying with old pals or making new ones on the court, it's a blast! Plus, it's way easier on my body than volleyball. Who knew a game with "pickle" in the name could be so addictive and friendly?
