It’s my own fitness journey that inspired me to become a personal trainer. After taking maternity leave and many years living a sedentary lifestyle, I had no idea where to begin. I started gradually with the help of a trainer who believed in me and encouraged me to go at my own pace. This allowed me to get back in shape and reconnect with my body. Today, I aspire to do the same for others who are facing similar challenges and for whom adopting a regular workout routine may seem difficult or even impossible. Furthermore, the reality of training often differs for women, and since I understand and share this reality, I prioritize a collaborative, inclusive, holistic, and compassionate approach.

• YMCA FIT – Personal Trainer
• YMCA FIT – Corrective Conditioning

My 20+ years of personal training experience began in my teen years. In 2005 the YMCA created a program to initiate teens to weight training, and I was solely responsible for this program for over 10 years. My experience has allowed me to discover new training methods and philosophies to help teens/young adults who want to reach and maintain their goals in a safe and educated environment in the early developmental phases of their health, mobility, and exercise journey.
