Why did I name my business Risa Olinsky, M.A. Count on Yourself Coaching?
Lifestyle and wellness is all about personal accountability; believing in oneself and taking baby steps to improving ones health. I believe change is always possible, but it's not about excuses and outside forces, but instead it starts with oneself. A bit like walking - just put one foot in front of the other, one step at a time.

Once upon a time, I signed Danny up for simple and basic guitar lessons - he was about 13 years old, Now at close to 34 he's just published his first album on Spotify and other streaming channels. Who would have known? See what you think... it's quiet and meditative guitar.

What's the longest distance you've ever walked in one day? For me it's 32 miles.... and it's incredibly exciting to accomplish something like this. It's NOT competitive, you do as little or as much as you like and then we celebrate.
