I’ve always enjoyed movement, from childhood baseball games in the street to marathons as a young adult. Even after starting my corporate career, I’d sneak away at lunch for an hour of sweat before tackling the rest of the day.

But it wasn’t until after having children that I realized what a significant role exercise played in my life. After three difficult pregnancies that kept me largely horizontal, I finally returned to the gym. While my primary motivation was to lose the baby weight, I quickly realized that I felt happier, less anxious, more energetic, and more confident than I had in years. This is when it hit home how critical movement is not only for my physical health, but for my mental and emotional health as well.

This realization prompted me to change careers and enter the wellness industry where I continue to learn and grow. In my own journey, I’ve recently learned to rock climb and have competed in my first few Spartan and Hyrox races. Fitness is an exciting adventure at any age!

I view exercise as medicine – for the body, mind, and self. It is a gift to be able to follow my passion for helping others find their own intrinsic love for movement.
