BIO

I'm fairly certain my first true squat happened while dancing to the Pretty Woman soundtrack in my parents living room years ago.  Since then I've been on the move...
I was a multi-sport athlete growing up, staying active in volleyball, softball, and track.  To say that I was occupied mentally and physically with the court/field was an understatement.  It was my life, and I loved it.
When it came time for me to hang up the cleats and knee pads however, my perspective of "fit" and "health" changed.  I was faced with one of the most challenging transitions in my life into this sort of "former-athlete" chapter that had yet to be written.  It was during that time in college I delved into one of the darkest times in my life in regards to body image, and struggled with eating disorders.  Looking back, I can stand on the other side and be thankful for the current opportunities to mentor other women struggling because I get it, I've been there.  But in the midst of it, I was lost and needed an outlet, a goal, something to keep me grounded and focused on recovery.

Over the course of the next few years I got into Figure Competitions and even competed at the national level my senior year in college.  It was a far cry from where I was a few years prior, and I knew my perspective on health was evolving.
It was around the same time I decided to get into personal training.  I was young, excited, nervous, the list could go on.
That was 8 years ago.
Now it is my life, my daily fuel, as well as the very thing that exhausts me to no end.  And I wouldn't have it any other way.

I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to work with athletes as young as 8 years old, up to a couple of ladies pushing 80+.  My day is a mixture of clients working to maintain a functional level of health, to those striving to lose baby-weight.  From soccer, lacrosse, and basketball, to golf, volleyball, and marathoners....I have experience with a vast array of sports performance training as well.
It is certainly a FULL day in the gym.
Ultimately, my passion lies in my desire to see others prove to themselves what I already believe they are capable of.  To see a critical shift occur,...from a place of fear and doubt, to a place of confident and daring effort to continue forward.  This is why I do what I do,...and love doing it.
