WiseWomenVT

Wise Women VT designs and delivers healthy aging workshops for women. We also specialize in exercise and activities for seniors that involve chair yoga and gentle yoga.

We work with residential activities directors and private clients to design courses that empower women and their families to move gently and wisely through all life’s stages. Transitions we address include motherhood, the changing mother-daughter bond, mid-life, retirement, independent living, and assisted living.

Founded by a mother-daughter team with training in counseling and developmental psychology, our passion is designing workshops and activities that facilitate planning for the changes that come with aging for mothers, daughters, and grandmothers.

“Carol treats everyone with a level of respect, professionalism, and kindness that you just don't see every day. She is sensitive to the needs of our residents in both large and small groups, guiding them to places of motivation, self-love, and acceptance. We are beyond grateful to have Carol as part of our Ethan Allen Residence Family.”
