My Background

I started my wellness career with personal training while pursuing a degree in Exercise Science. I was drawn to the field because I noticed how much activity helped me live every day with more energy, confidence, positivity, and productivity, and wanted to help others do the same for themselves. I soon began incorporating the principles of behavior change psychology into my sessions to help my clients delve into their broader wellness goals alongside their physical fitness goals.

After my bachelor’s I worked in Chicago and gained experience in movement efficiency, pain management, and tailoring personal training sessions to the specific stressors in a client’s life. I then moved to Colorado to work in workplace wellness and ran a workplace fitness center, designed programs to make wellness behaviors more accessible in the workplace, and continued to provide personal training.

I then completed a MS in Integrative Wellness and earned my National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching certification to become a certified health coach. I now am living a dream of mine, running my own practice in which I can combine my passions in personal training and behavior change to specialize in personal training for pain management and offer health coaching to help clients make changes — both physical and behavioral — that can impact their lives.
