If you’re tuned into the health and fitness world (which I’m assuming you are if you’re here!) then I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of influencers and experts talking about “longevity” and the importance of living better for longer. Yet as with so many things, I’m acutely aware that much of the mainstream advice around longevity is very male-centered (don’t even get me started on Zone 2 training ), so I want to talk today about longevity for active women.
Before we go too much further, though, let’s define longevity, lifespan, and healthspan. When we talk about longevity, it’s easy to think only in terms of lifespan—how many years we live. But there’s another arguably more important concept to focus on: healthspan.
Healthspan is about how well you live throughout those years. It’s your ability to stay active, sharp, mobile, and independent—without being sidelined by chronic illness, injury, or fatigue. And for women, especially through midlife and beyond, this matters more than ever.
The good news? You have a lot more control over your healthspan than you might think. With the right training, nutrition, and recovery tailored to your physiology, you can increase your energy, strength, and resilience well into your later years.

I began my career in the health sciences as a pharmaceutical researcher, a profession that allowed me to develop scientific rigour and critical thinking. However, I came to realise that suppressing the symptoms of a disease does not always allow for the recovery of a true well-being. Fascinated by holistic and natural medicines, I then enrolled in a 6-year program at the Collège des Études Ostéopathiques (CEO) of Montreal, where I obtained a Diploma in Osteopathy (D.O.).
Since 2016 I have been working with a diversified clientele, from professional dancers to sedentary people, from newborns to great-grandparents. I believe that everybody can benefit from an osteopathic session designed for their needs; for this reason I never apply protocols, but a tailored-made approach developed for and around the unique individual that I am working with.
My understanding of osteopathy and its potential keeps evolving through my daily clinical practice, personal study, discussions with other health care professionals, and by attending post-graduate courses in various domains.
