Ann Bizzarro, Ph.D., has twenty-two years experience working in the corporate world.  She has held many different positions both as an individual contributor and as a manager in the application software industry. She has an undergraduate and graduate degree in Management and Doctorate of Philosophy in Holistic Health Sciences.  Ann is a certified Personal Trainer, Silver Sneakers® Instructor, Tai Chi Easy™ Facilitator, and Certified Life Coach.

Through her studies and life experiences, Ann has discovered that we have to take an active role to improve our health and fitness.  She was tired of letting circumstances and other people affect her mood.  She was also tired of self criticism, restless nights, aching muscles, stiffness, burnout, stress and so on.  She had a strong belief that we weren’t put on this planet to be unhealthy, stressed and out of shape.

What she discovered was we are much bigger than our physical bodies.  When we take care of our mind, body, and spirit, life begins to take care of itself.   

Ann now shares what she has learned from all her studies and life experiences.  She has developed the Firm Grip on Living methodology which is a combination of managing your thoughts (mind), eating and exercising (body), and having fun (spirit). 

Overtime, with practice, people and circumstances will have less and less of an effect on your health;  your negative self talk will diminish, you will sleep better, experience less stress, be  more relaxed, be more productive, have better relationships, and begin to feel healthier.
