And like many teens and adults, turned to food to make myself feel better.

This isn’t wholly unique to a teenager growing up unsure and uncomfortable on how I would find my social circle. But as I sat around, eating sweets and junk food, I read every Captain America comic book.

I longed to be a hero. 

When I finally decided I wanted to look different, I started working out. What I didn’t realize is that I would feel different.

As a young adult, I met one of my mentors, who for the first time made me feel valued, made me feel like a belonged, and made me feel important. This had zero to do with my physique and everything to do with being decent and caring.

I started my personal training and physical fitness coaching business to work with people who want a partner to empower them to become the best version of themselves.

No one should ever feel “less than.” I felt that way for a long time. It wasn’t until I met my mentor in fitness coaching, and then my husband, that I ever felt like I belonged to a community.

I started my personal training and physical fitness coaching business because I have been where you are. I was that overweight person who couldn’t climb a mountain at 17. Struggling with self-worth throughout college.  I’ve made a change and I know you can too.

I work with you starting where you are. We make getting healthy fun because if you enjoy it, you’ll keep doing it.

I want to help you elevate your results for life.
