About Fleur

Fleur teaches health education with an emphasis on yoga and Pilates, circuit training, balance & mobility, and occasionally a lecture course called Age-Related Health Risk Factors. Other classes she's taught for the Emeritus Institute include chair exercise, sequential stretching and aquatic exercise. 

Fleur's professional interests include creating evidence-based lectures and incorporating practical skills in maintaining independence in daily activities. She helps her students discern pop fitness/nutrition versus research-based fitness/nutrition, fall-proof methods for improving balance, and self-myofascial release methods of releasing fascia to change inhibited movement patterns and pain relief, and understanding the importance of the lymphatic self massage for our health. 

Fleur was formerly the Director of the Pregnagym at Irvine Medical Center, and has worked in settings such as injury reduction and prevention in the industrial workplace, and with elite athletes at the Tom Landry Sports Medicine and Research Center. She has held Department Chair/Program Chair positions for the Emeritus Institutes at Saddleback and Irvine Valley College for 4 years.

In her free time, Fleur enjoys swimming, cycling, and trail running. Fleur is a 3x full Ironman triathlete (140.6 mi) and 10x half Ironman (70.3 mi) triathlete. She loves being a life-long student (nerd alert!), and is also a mother of two young adult boys (one in college and the other is a start-up software entrepreneur), and is the wife to a Masters swimmer. She resides in the Tustin area.
