With over 10 years of experience, I help people transform their bodies, build lasting confidence, and create habits that support long-term success. As an eating disorder survivor, I know how powerful fitness can be — it transformed my life in strength, mindset, and confidence. Now, I’m passionate about helping others unlock their full potential, inside and out. I specialize in working with women, but also train men who are ready to commit to real, lasting change. My approach is holistic and grounded in structured, progressive programming — focusing on proper form, balanced nutrition, and the daily habits that support your goals beyond the gym. Whether your goals are to build muscle, lose fat, grow your glutes, or improve posture, I provide customized training and ongoing support personalized to you, with flexible options in person or online.

With a lifelong passion for movement, strength, and helping others thrive, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering people to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. My journey began with martial arts in my teens, evolving into bodybuilding to support personal and professional goals. Over the years, I’ve helped clients of all ages and abilities get in shape—ranging from beginners to athletes, and including seniors and individuals with conditions like Parkinson’s and dementia. I specialize in functional training for daily movement and hypertrophy for muscle growth and confidence. My coaching is rooted in empathy, trust, and proven strategies to deliver real results. I also lead group classes and senior boxing to keep people strong, mobile, and engaged. Whether you're just starting out or chasing new goals, I’ll design a program that gets you where you want to be—safely, effectively, and sustainably.
