For more than 20 years, Bridget Ford Hughes has dedicated her professional life to health and fitness. In addition to founding the pastures, she maintains an active private practice in massage therapy, teaching yogilates and personal training.
A graduate of The Swedish Institute in New York City, she was a massage therapist at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts. She is also a certified Pilates instructor through Power Pilates in New York City, and a dedicated yogini. Recently she completed a two-year program in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India at Kripalu School of Ayurveda in Lenox, Massachusetts.
“The pastures became my dream to help other women with cancer through some of the most challenging struggles they face,” says Bridget. “My own experience showed me how much women need the support of well-informed and dedicated people to assist them through every level of healing – physical, emotional and spiritual – so that they can focus on hope and recovery. My journey helped to form the kind of experience I wanted to be able to share with other women. Retreat participants feedback to date tells me that I am on the right path!” This is just the right inspiration that keeps us focused on our mission.
