Receive Text UpdatesWhat fuels my passion for health and fitness is helping women break up with the idea that their bodies need fixing. Movement taught me strength, trust, and self-respect, not restriction. I believe fitness should expand your life, not shrink it. Strong, nourished, joyful bodies at every age.. that’s the standard I stand for.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?My favorite way to train is a balance of strength training and Pilates. Lifting heavy was my first love. It taught me power and confidence—while Pilates keeps me connected, mobile, and strong from the inside out. I stay active by walking my dogs and exploring nature, because movement shouldn’t be something you earn or burn.
What would you do with $20,000?I would invest the $20,000 into opening my own athletic Pilates studio, a marriage of strength and intentional movement. My vision is to build a space that welcomes all bodies, mentors and pays instructors well, and creates real community. Not just a studio, but a standard-setting model for how fitness can feel, function, and evolve.
