Suzie Rock's fall in 2023 prompted her to confront the realities of aging and the importance of proactive measures in maintaining physical well-being. Recognizing the significance of strength, balance, and intentionality in movement, Suzie joined Juniper’s A Matter of Balance class, facilitated by Normandale Center for Healing & Wholeness. Through targeted exercises and newfound awareness, Suzie not only regained confidence in her strides but also forged friendships within her community. Her journey underscores the vital role of fall prevention education, particularly among underserved BIPOC seniors, in fostering holistic health and independence in later years.
