For me, it’s quite a personal journey which stems from grief and loss, the gym helped heal me both physically and mentally, once I started there just was no stopping. My commitment to improve my physical and mental wellness has transpired into helping others achieve. What their health and wellness looks like , watching a person grow and realize what their capacity is and could be is absolutely the most fulfilling part of being involved in this sport.

Up until a few years ago, I was running and did marathons, but I never felt the fit that I was seeking. I started body building at age 55 and this has changed my mindset and physique completely. Lifting weights has improved my strength, balance, and overall health, I’ve proven to myself I can do anything! Cardio is still a large part of my routine as the peace you feel on a long run is meditation to me.

My dream has always been to complete my personal training program and open up a small studio for training other women how to overcome mental and physical adversity. I am a Nurse specializing in Psychiatry, being able to encompass both the mental and physical components are invaluable. Tapping into the mental blocks can open up so much more than we know. My studio would be called “whole-istic fitness.
