Coach Barb has always had a passion for helping others, which is why she chose to be a physical therapist. While watching Leslie Stahl’s 60 Minutes segment about her husband fighting back against Parkinson’s with a program called Rock Steady Boxing, she was so moved by it, that it became her mission to bring this program to the central jersey area.
She earned a certification as a Rock Steady Boxing Coach at the RSB Headquarters in Indianapolis, as well as certifications as an LSVT BIG Therapist, LSVT BIG for Life Therapist, and PWR! Moves Therapist, which are specific to the therapeutic treatment of Parkinson’s. Coach Barb is also a Geriatric Certified Specialist with the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties.
She is grateful daily for the opportunity to work with such inspiring people, both her fighters and all the people who support them (volunteers and care partners). In her free time, she enjoys hiking, biking, traveling with her husband Sam, and spending time with her family and friends.
