I have always had a passion for fitness, helping others and that is why I find being a Fitness and Wellness Consultant to be fulfilling and rewarding both personally and professionally. I have been active all my life, involved in dance and sports ever since I was young. My background experience includes running 10 ½ marathons, soccer, kickboxing, step, boot camp, strength training, functional training, core training etc. I have run many local races and placed 4th place Female 10K in the “World’s Longest Beach Run”. I’ve been a personal trainer for 7+ years (certified with NASM) and a boot camp instructor for 6+ years. Prior to personal training, I was the Regional Director for 3 Curves for Women locations for 3 years. I also have certifications as a Corrective Exercise Specialist, Weight Loss Specialist and Youth Exercise Specialist.
Being fit is such an integral part of my life and my determination and drive to hold on to my passion became apparent. In 2007 I was told by my doctor that I would have to have open surgery. This decision would ultimately change my perception on life. What ensued was a challenging 5 years of recovery due to the financial stress and uncontrollable hardships that followed which ultimately affected my energy level and ability to do the job that I love! Because of this, I have the empathy and compassion to understand others in their struggles. I know what it’s like to have to start all over and be patient, consistent and not give up! My avocation is my vocation!
My passion is to empower and encourage individuals to be the best that they can be through fitness and wellness. I practice empathetic listening to create a safe, trusting environment and ultimately facilitate awareness and change. I work to help clients develop a connection and awareness between their mind and body so that they can enjoy efficient workouts and success….more importantly motivating and challenging them to the best of their abilities! Ultimately, allowing them to not only be but also feel healthy and strong throughout their daily activities of living!
