I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, ACE Certified Orthopedic Exercise Specialist, ACE Certified Functional Training Specialist, and a Level 2 CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach. I’ve also completed a number of additional certifications and courses, all of which can be found here.  I’ve taught group fitness classes of all levels (including weekly yoga and Pilates classes) as well as educational workshops and instructional seminars, and I’ve coached both individuals and small groups.

I have been working as a health and fitness professional since 2008. I’ve trained and taught classes in gyms and small studios, but now work from my own private studio.

Your personalized exercise program may include a range of fitness equipment, including free weights, resistance bands, and exercise machines. Our work together will always prioritize safety — you will be taught how to use the equipment correctly and the exercises will be designed to help you improve your functionality and strength for everyday activities.

When designing your personalized exercise program, I take into consideration the equipment that you have available. I can be quite creative to make very effective use of minimal equipment or no equipment at all. However, having some equipment available allows for more options and is sometimes necessary to effectively address a particular issue. Occasionally, I will suggest purchasing specific equipment to better help you achieve your goals, taking into consideration the financial budget that you are working with.

My one-on-one personal training and holistic health coaching sessions are one hour in duration. Depending on your program, our in-person sessions may include up to 4 hours per week.

Please don’t let media depictions of fitness boot camps scare you away from working with a personal trainer. I will meet you where you are in your health journey — even if it is at the very beginning — and we will progress at a pace that is comfortable for you.

While I do not provide full meal plans or dietician services, I do provide nutrition coaching through my Holistic Health Service as needed.

It’s important to work with a trainer whose communication style matches your expectations and needs. My approach with my clients is supportive, encouraging, and non-judgmental. I can be firm when the situation requires it, but always in a way that is respectful and understanding. I expect to be treated with the same respect.
