I grew up playing sports and was very active and fit. When I was 17, I got really sick and was diagnosed with MS. My health declined to the point where I had to use a cane to walk and was going blind. My outlook for the future looked dim. Despite these challenges, I got married and had 5 kids. During this time, my body struggled with anything fitness-related, and I completely lost myself. I gained a lot of weight and developed severe body dysmorphia and depression.

​

However, I have devoted the last 10 years of my life to overcoming many physical and mental obstacles to be where I am today. I love fitness and people! I am passionate about helping others overcome self-defeating thoughts and habits that have kept them from reaching their goals.

​

I am excited to help facilitate others on their fitness journey and aid individuals to become the best version of themselves.

My goal is to enhance my client’s quality of life by offering services that leave you feeling better than when you walked through the door. We will build on each session, leaving you feeling energized and excited about the next step. You are ready to begin just as you are, and I will structure a program tailored to your needs, abilities, and goals. A few years ago, I was unhealthy, and out of shape, and never thought I would walk through the doors of a gym again. I had been an athlete when I was younger, but like so many, I had let the passion die and felt it was never within my reach again.

​

A couple of years ago, I realized that I was making myself physically, mentally, and spiritually sick, and out of desperation, I decided to make a change. My typical mindset had always been “all or nothing,” but this time something changed. I started focusing on small changes for long periods instead of drastic changes I could never maintain. Consistency has been the key, over time the small changes are producing magnificent results. I wish to pay it forward to help the next person looking to make a profound change one day at a time.

​

My goal is not just to perform better at the gym, but to use conditioning and strength training to improve my quality of life and be the healthiest version of myself for my loved ones. We will keep it simple, and we will keep moving forward!

I am a mom in my 30s, passionate about being healthy, active, and capable of keeping up with my busy little boy while feeling good in my body! My journey into the world of personal training was motivated by the challenge of finding safe, accurate guidance for an active pregnancy, coupled with my own experience rehabbing pelvic organ prolapse postpartum. 

No two pregnancies or postpartum experiences are alike, my goal is to meet your individual needs in navigating one of life’s greatest transitions. Every choice regarding assessing, programming, and coaching is rooted in my belief that every woman navigating this incredible journey deserves the best possible preparation and recovery.
