Meet Taru

Who is Taru?

I’m an irreverent, sometimes inspiring, woman who has lived a life many say should be the subject of a book. I’m working on that. I have a wacky sense of humor that helps me and people I come in contact with to see the humor in situations. We all need a good laugh!

I’m also Co-Founder and CEO of Alive! Whole Life Fitness Studio in Redwood City, CA. Alive! is truly a labor of love for both myself and my husband, James Bell. He is our Master SafeStrength® Trainer and has given over 11,000 safe and highly effective strength training sessions over the past five years! He works with the body to create functional strength, and he’s extremely good at it. I may be biased, but, based on his results with our clients, I think he’s a gifted healer.

One of my roles at Alive! has been to create Seasons of Life Coaching.  I work in partnership with women in transition to create a new life of their own choosing. I’ve been there and done that;  I know what it takes! I also have a plethora of resources from which to draw to aid in these life transitions. This is my life’s work.

Why this blog?

I’m on a mission to debunk the myths and memes of aging, among other things. I have amassed a veritable feast of facts about aging and health, about networking (the old fashioned, “in person” kind), about entrepreneurship after 50 (instead of retirement), and a host of other topics. I want to share who I am so my clients (and potential clients) can understand who I am and what I stand for.

This blog is for women who want to be both realistic about the challenges life’s transitions bring and who want to create a lifestyle of purpose and passion. My readers want to make a difference and live life to the fullest until their last breath. And yes, we will all have a last breath. All of us; everyone of you who is reading this. So my challenge to you is what are you going to do between this breath, the one you are having right now, and the last one?
