I am a fitness professional with over 33 years of experience and love to bring smiles to faces as people travel along their Fitness Journey! My many experiences that I have had living internationally for most of my life and many locations in the USA have provided a wonderful opportunity to meet and work with people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures. Some of these have been great experiences such as:
Leading and training Girl Scouts in the USA, Saudi Arabia, Democratic Republic of Congo and Outward Bound in Costa Rica
Boy Scouts in Saudi Arabia, Kayaking in the USA Boundary waters, Scuba diving off of Florida
Women's Wellness & Fitness treks - Nepal
Women's Fitness & Cultural Trip - Bhutan
IDEA World Convention Representative for Saudi Arabia 2016 & 2018 Attendee 2002, 2013
Cairo, Egypt Kickboxing Seminar & Class
Countries where I have had the privilege to live are: Africa, Turkey, Thailand, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia and the USA! Exercise in all forms has been a passion of mine from a very young age. Over the years the passion for helping others find the joy of exercise in many forms has led me to teaching a variety of classes and styles to all age groups. There have been fitness trends over the 33 years that I have learned and taught - many are always developing that I plan to continue enjoying. Group Fitness is a wonderful way to teach many people at one time however the Small Group Training classes work very well for more one on one guidance and support.
Fitness has evolved over the years, however the energy to get healthy and stay healthy is still there for so many. I love being there for those that are ready to bring this into their lives. Pilates, Barre, Barrelates and stretching have become a great asset to the fitness industry to train a wide variety of the population.
My husband and children are also a huge part of my life that have led me to working with both youth and adult programs. Fitness can be a wonderful part of family life that all can do together. I am so happy our family has been able to embrace this aspect of life and I certainly appreciate their support for my Fitness Passion!
