About me

I first started training clients back in 2007, I was fresh out of college with a Bachelors in Kinesiology. My plan was to work for a while to pay off my student loans and eventually go back to school for Physical Therapy. I trained private clients for 5 years and then decided it was time to get back on track and start applying to schools. I went back to school and became a licensed PTA. I have worked in outpatient and home health for the last 8+ years and during that time had put training in my "retired" bucket. During my time as a therapist, I have always noticed the need for preventative exercise and post-rehab training. Many patients are discharged from therapy and are left unsure of what to do next and how to safely get back to exercising after a surgery or a change in health. After much thought, I decided to start up training again so that I could offer help in a more specialized area. My experience as a therapist allows me to confidently conduct training with a variety of diagnoses.

For anyone who can relate, I have first-hand experience with the following diagnoses:

-Orthopedic issues: back pain, neck pain, rotator cuff repair, ankle sprains, post-surgical and many more!

-Joint replacements

-Neurological disorders: Multiple Sclerosis, ALS, Alzheimer’s Disease, Stroke, Parkinson’s

-Vestibular disorders: Concussions, Vertigo

-Spinal Cord Injury

-And more!

Aside from my in-person training, I also saw the need to make myself available online for those who just need a little accountability and direction or those who live outside of my area. If this sounds like you, check out my available programs!

My training philosophy is a combination of education, motivation, and fun. I want my clients to learn! No one should have to 100% rely on someone else to better their own health. The more you know, the easier the process becomes.
