Expert Profile: Karen Sullivan

Expertise:  Karen can help with lifting technique, muscle recovery, weight loss, body building and powerlifting. She has been certified by AFPA for the last 10 years as a Personal Trainer and has recently acquired a certification from the same agency as a Post Rehabilitative Exercise Specialist. Any recommendations or advice rendered are based on fitness information as specified by the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Fitness Professionals and Associates.

Past/Present clients
Clients include athletes training for marathons, mountain climbing and general weight loss. In addition I have clients troubled with COPD, Fibromyalgia, and Parkinsons as well as stroke rehab. She was the Strength and Conditioning coach for Williamsburg Aquatic Club, a USA Swim Team, in Williamsburg, Virginia for 3 years.   Karen is presently working at Main Street Gym in Historic St. Charles, Missouri where she teaches Pilates and continues her work with clients. Her training reaches across the country with her long distance Body Restoration eTraining. Her dedication to fitness reaches into the nutritional supplementation with Shaklee products. She only works with clients who add nutritional supplementation to their training. Read more of her story on www.shaklee.net/BodyRestoration

Something controversial or provocative about this subject  I am a Health Coach. I work with people who want to change their bodies to improve their lifestyle and look and feel good as a result. To do this I work with a well rounded, natural approach to fitness and do not support any of the thoughts popular in most gyms. Feeling Brave? Ask me about creatine!
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I hope to learn more about biomechanics and the relationship that nutrition plays in the fitness picture. In addition it is my desire to help my clients (all ages) to age with dignity and as much grace as they can muster.
