a little more about me…
When I’m not coaching clients and creating movement programs, you can catch me at the beach, hiking with my dog, or on an outdoor run. Being active has been a part of my life since I was a little kid, when I started taking dance classes. I realize now that not everyone had that opportunity, so I bring that lifestyle to my clients through coaching.
After years of dancing, I developed tendinitis in both legs which prevented me from running and doing other high-impact activities for years. I finally decided that I wanted to be proactive and take control of my life and my body’s abilities. I have experienced first-hand what it’s like to let pain and injury dictate what my body can do, as well as the freedom and confidence that comes after healing and taking action to change those circumstances. Today I can confidently say that my body is strong and moves freely.
Working with people to find what movement practices work for their body brings me a sense of purpose. By incorporating efficient movement, optimal nutrition, and strategic recovery practices, my clients find peace in their bodies and satisfaction in life.
I am passionate about helping my clients create sustainable movement habits and nutrition practices so they can achieve consistency with exercise and long-term vitality.
If you’re ready to prioritize your fitness so you can run, do yoga, dance, jump, and move any way your heart desires, let’s connect.
