My career as a personal trainer started in my mid-40s in response my own health crisis.  I wanted to understand how to exercise, eat healthy, and reduce stress in response to a period of depression.  I was overwhelmed by the amount of health and fitness information on the internet.  Should I go gluten free or Paleo?  Take Birkram yoga or CrossFit classes?  And how about supplements?  With few clear answers, I embarked on a journey to answer these and other questions that would lead me to a life free from the grip of depression. 

 

What I’ve learned along this journey is there isn’t a “one size fits all” answer.  It takes a practice of awareness and patience to find the answers to our ailments.  I’ve acquired a wide knowledge of the many aspects of health and fitness that come together to increase well-being.  I consider: developing a balanced approach to exercise, correcting muscle imbalances, building mindfulness, and cultivating good nutrition.  There are so many contributing factors that together help us thrive.  My goal is to share what I have learned and educate the client so they can develop independence in their own fitness and well-being.

 

I welcome all clients who resonate with this approach.  I am a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sport Medicine (NASM), a NASM certified Corrective Exercise Specialist, and I completed a 500-hour personal training program at the National Personal Training Institute.  My current areas of interest and specialty include women’s fitness, pre- and post-natal fitness, women in menopause and recovery from injury at any age.
