My passion for fitness stems from personal experience: I was dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and eating disorders. In the truest sense of the words, fitness saved my life. It was the biggest gift I ever received. That's when I knew I had to leave my acting career to become a personal trainer. I fell in love with Kettlebells because they make me feel like a total badass. I later learned that Kettlebells can help release stored trauma in the body. That immediately sparked my passion for "trauma-informed" weightlifting & somatics. Additionally, I have a background as a Rhythmic Gymnast. I got injured at the Junior Olympics, which ended my career at 10. My past as a youth athlete fuels my love for training other youth-teenage athletes, giving them the experience I never got. A sustainable lifestyle is what it's all about. Leave your workouts feeling better than when you walked in. Eat to fuel your body AND to enjoy the taste. Rest properly. Reclaim your body. No matter your age or fitness level, from beginner to athlete, allow me to guide YOU to be the most functional, badass, and best version of yourself.
