Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

I had an eating disorder that started in my adolescence and reached a peak during college. After taking a hard look at myself, I changed majors to Exercise Science , and started to learn everything I could about the body, nutrition, and exercise. After college I started working as a personal trainer, and fell in love with helping women. 20 yrs later, I train females of all ages, and am passionate about helping them get strong, build a healthy relationship with exercise, and love their bodies!

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

I love to strength train and push my limits. The gym is so much more to me than just saying fit. When I have a lot on my mind, I head to the gym. It helps me clear my head and eases any anxieties I might have. I played D1 soccer in college, and I’m proud to say that at almost 45, I still play soccer today. Playing & coaching keeps me connected to the sport I’ve loved my whole life. Our bodies are so much more capable than we realize, and we do ourselves a disservice when we stop believing that!

What would you do with $20,000?

I have a dream of opening a bigger training studio exclusively for females. (Right now I rent a small studio space where I train my clients). My gym would be focused on empowering girls & women to know their strength, feel empowered, and confident about their unique bodies ❤️.
