Hi, I’m Kathy!

I have been in the fitness and wellness field for over 40 years. After spending 32 years working with individuals in the corporate wellness setting, I launched ShipShape, where I have found my passion working with the aging population. 

With a degree in Exercise Science and Certification as a Fall Prevention Specialist, I work with the aging to keep them strong and mobile, with the goal of preventing falls.

I am a Certified Dementia Care Practitioner and support all individuals and their caregivers throughout the transition through end of life.

I completed my End of Life Planning/Death Doula training through Going with Grace and provide concierge support and services for individuals and caregivers throughout the transition through end-of-life.

As a trained professional of after loss services through PALS, I provide logistical and administrative assistance to clients navigating the tasks that arise following the loss of a loved one.

I provide in-person support in the State of Rhode Island and can leverage the internet and phone providing virtual support anywhere.
