A little about me: I was a competitive high school and college track athlete (400 meter hurdles)....state champion, state record holder, 4 year letter winner, etc. I went on to coach at the collegiate level for two years while working on my masters degree. I've also coached hurdlers at the high school level. I am very knowledgeable on strength and conditioning training as we did lots of weight lifting at the Division I level. I am a couple of weeks away from finishing up my personal training certification through ISSA. I have completed my 48 hr. yoga teacher training and I am in the midst of completing a 200 hour yoga certification where I will be a RYT through the Yoga Alliance. I am taking my teacher training through Siva Power Yoga in Wichita, KS. My specialty will be power/flow yoga so more intermediate to advanced yoga. I currently teach an intermediate class at the YMCA and will pick up two classes once they switch to the Fall schedule. I also teach one class a week at Finer Physiques....also an intermediate power yoga class. My classes are definitely athletic and will make you break a sweat. I focus on breath work and do shavasana (mediation) at the end of all classes, but my classes are designed to calm your inner being, as well as, resculpt your body. I also run bootcamp sessions at the YMCA which run for 7 weeks/3 days a week at 5:30am. So I'm pretty well-rounded on what I can teach.
Â
I have two little girls....one is 18 months and the other is 3 and a half years old. My passion is helping women get in shape after pregnancy and stay in shape during pregnancy. Eventually, I would love to add a doula certification to the mix and focus my attention on pre/post natal fitness geared towards natural childbirth. I had both of my girls naturally without drugs and I am a big advocate of midwives and doulas to serve this purpose.

I've been in sales and marketing for the past 10 years or so, but after having kids decided to find something I could do and also be around for my children. The fitness industry was the perfect fit and I absolutely love what I do!
