Receive Text UpdatesMy passion is fueled by helping women break free from toxic fitness messages that taught them to shrink instead of thrive. Strength training gave me confidence, resilience, and a purpose beyond aesthetics. Now, I empower women to build strong bodies, trust themselves again, and show up fully in their lives—inside and outside the gym.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?My favorite way to train is to lift heavy in the gym but I’ve started adding running over the years as I’m currently training for my 7th half marathon.
What would you do with $20,000?I would invest the $20,000 into expanding my coaching platform so I can reach and support more women who’ve been failed by diet/gym culture. That means affordable programs, educational content, and community support that helps women get strong, nourished, and confident—without shrinking themselves to fit old standards.
