The Difference Between Surviving Europe and Savoring It
Personalized travel wellness consulting for your complete journey - walking preparation, flight strategies, equipment choices, pain prevention, and daily recovery
This service is for people who want to travel well, not just travel far. It's designed for travelers who are excited about Europe but want to be thoughtful about how their body will handle the walking, standing, long days, flights, and recovery that come with it.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy with extensive experience in both clinical care and international travel, I understand the intersection of body mechanics and travel demands. I've helped hundreds of clients prepare for and enjoy travel they thought might be beyond their reach.
​
This service combines clinical expertise with practical travel experience to give you strategies that actually work in real-world conditions.
​​
​This customized consultation is based on YOUR body's specific needs, YOUR concerns, and YOUR exact itinerary. Whether you're managing arthritis, recovering from surgery, or simply want to prevent problems, every recommendation is personalized for YOU.

Why Europe-Specific
Preparation Matters
Europe presents unique physical challenges:
​
-
Cobblestones: Require ankle stability and proper footwear
-
Stairs without rails: Need balance and knee strength
-
Extended walking days: Demand endurance and pacing strategy
-
Limited seating: Requires standing tolerance
-
Consecutive touring days: Need recovery planning
With the right preparation and strategy, these challenges become manageable, allowing you to focus on the experience rather than the discomfort.

READY TO TRAVEL
WITH CONFIDENCE?

​
Your dream trip to Europe doesn't have to be limited by physical concerns. With the right preparation and strategy, you can explore with confidence and return with memories, not regrets.
