Areas of Focus:
My life has guided me to numerous opportunities of which I am eternally grateful. As an entrepreneur / counselor / personal trainer, I am able to share my passions and live my “dream job” each and every day. I am a people person and am eager to help those in need.
As a personal trainer, I’ve been drawn to helping women achieve a healthier outlook on life. I am a true believer in living a flexible lifestyle in every way possible.
I love to help my clients get started with understanding nutrition and exercise and how to incorporate both into their lives in a way that fits for them. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach, and I like to be creative with new ways to help my clients succeed.
