 PERSONAL FITNESS EXPERIENCE Throughout my life I have participated in long distance trail running (marathons, ultra-marathons), triathlons, cross-country running, yoga, cycling, strength training, skiing, kayaking, softball, and swimming.

My mission is to inspire, educate and motivate clients with their health and wellness goals (regardless of physical fitness levels and abilities) including personalized exercise programs, nutrition education, weight loss and management, and stress reduction. My ultimate goal is to help others develop, practice and sustain lifelong health and wellness habits that promote a vital and healthy lifestyle inside and outside of the gym.
