Having grown up in gymnastics and dance classes, as well as musical theater, I found that a barre fitness class was immediately a natural fit. This fitness method that combines mindful movement with intense, results-oriented exercise came at a time in my life when health became a prominent focus. In 2009, I began a new job with a natural health care physician helping educate others about natural remedies & nutrition. I was ready to learn more about holistic health, and that included my own body.

I began coming to classes three times a week, leaving each class exhausted, but completely refreshed and rejuvenated. As my form improved, the exercises became more and more effective, toning my muscles and strengthening my body from the inside out.

After training directly under the method creator for several years, I became a certified BarreAmped instructor in 2012 and began sharing this incredible method with clients each week. In the spring of 2013, I was asked to pursue certification as a Teacher Trainer for the method, which I gladly accepted!

I now teach all levels and class formats for BarreAmped, I manage two studio locations in Nashville, and I lead weekend trainings for others wanting to certify in the method. I also continue to work closely with the method creator, Suzanne Bowen, to develop new class formats and continue to help the method evolve.
