Northbound Spry represents a moment many women reach later in life; the moment you want to stop drifting and find your true north.
That’s why the Northbound Spry philosophy comes to life through a living, breathing movement.
A movement that redefines what it means to age — with purpose, resilience, and community.
The Northbound Spry mission is to create a welcoming, empowering space where women over 65 come to be inspired, learn health literacy, and grow into their better selves, while supporting one another, sharing wisdom, and thriving together.
A welcoming movement for Boomer girls and their older sisters who are ready to design a life filled with meaning, vitality, and connection in their later years.
Spry Boomer Girls exists to walk beside women over 65 as they reclaim their energy, rediscover their purpose, and grow into their next—and most meaningful—chapter of life.
You may recognize it as:
Feeling disconnected from who you used to be
Losing confidence as your body, roles, or relationships change
Wondering “Is this all there is now?”
Shrinking dreams instead of expanding them
Feeling alone in a world that celebrates youth and sidelines wisdom
You’ve spent decades caring for others—children, partners, parents, employers.
And somewhere along the way, you learned to put yourself last.
Society tells you to slow down, step aside, and accept less.
Hi, I'm Annelie.
At 75, I am spry and having the time of my life.
As a nurse, pro-age advocate, and founder of Northbound Spry, I am here to help boomer girls and our older sisters become spry and rediscover the value of their uniqueness.
The time after 65 is a window of opportunity for us to carve out a piece of life guided by collective wisdom, where health, happiness, and success are not constrained by internalized ageism.
Let’s enjoy the last ride as best as we can, and for as long as we can.
Spry Boomer Girls is built on connection, compassion, and shared experience.
This isn’t a program you pass through.
It’s a movement you belong to.
And science backs what we already know:
After age 65, just 30 minutes of walking a day adds longevity and supports our health and vitality.
That’s time spent with friends, exploring, laughing, breathing deeply, and moving forward — together.
You don’t need to reinvent yourself.
You just need the right support and the courage to begin.
You'll have help to grow in four essential areas:
Clarity, resilience, and emotional steadiness
Health, movement, and renewed energy
Meaning, connection, and inner peace
Financial and daily structures that support freedom

Spry Boomer Girls is more than a support group.
It’s a stand against quiet fading.
A response to ageism.
And a promise that no woman has to age alone.
Our Vision Is A Pro-Age Future, Built Together
Northbound Spry challenges ageism from the inside out, standing with our older sisters so no woman ages alone. We have each other's backs as we look to the future to create a nurturing, pro-age community where our emotional needs are supported, and personal dreams and success are not defined by age.

And here, there is plenty of both.
