As a wife and a mother of three teenagers, I have found my health to be one of the greatest gifts that I can give to not only myself, but to my family. I spent 20 years in the hi-tech industry, living in cubicles and eating a terrible diet while having to be on the road. I had let my health slip and found myself feeling mushy and unenergetic. I had met a new friend that introduced me back to the gym and to the work of fitness. My body could remember how great it felt to move and be active. Within a year, I lost four dress sizes, but realized I was still the same weight as when I had started. That is when my journey into fitness really started! It wasn't purely about the number on the scale. It was really about what actually made up that number on the scale, how I felt, and how my clothes fit!
I now am retired from my hi-tech career and devote my time to teaching and coaching teens, adults, and seniors alike on achieving their health and wellness goals. Through fitness classes, workshops, 1:1 lifestyle coaching sessions, and group fitness classes; I am able to combine the various tools in my toolbelt to address my client's needs.
I now enjoy teaching all flavors of Zumba including: Aqua Zumba, Zumba Toning, Zumba Gold, and Zumbatomic as well as RIPPED (a complete 1 hour workout designed to target strength, endurance, power, and agility), Zen Yoga & Meditation (a gentle/restorative yoga designed to relax and release the body and mind),
In addition, I work with businesses by consulting on their fitness offerings and services; ensuring they can provide a valuable experience to those that they serve.
