About Me

I have seen quite a lot of fitness information in over 25 years, and I still love what I do. I am a lifelong learner, athlete and coach. My fitness journey began with classical ballet, and morphed into track, hurdles and middle distance running, then rock climbing to triathlon and competitive cycling. Along the way, I learned and practice yoga and mindfulness tools to help balance out the athlete along the way. My job as a trainer and a coach is to come up with a fun, healthy, and motivating program for a client that they can easily incorporate into their lives that helps accomplish fitness, health and mental health goals. As a trainer, coach and lifelong student, I incorporate clients needs and wants for a program and creatively address those needs into a sustainable program. My certifications include: Certifications include MS University of Illinois (Urbana) in Exercise Physiology, ASCM RCEP, NSCA CSCS, Ironman Certified Coach, E-RYT, and USA Triathlon Level 2 Coach.
