My Mission

I had tried every diet imaginable from the ages of 12 to 45. In 2020, I found a game-changing approach: I started embracing small habits that allowed me to shed 80 lbs & maintain my weight loss. Now, I assist busy women in losing fat through efficient workouts while savoring their favorite foods!

Why Train With Me

I don't believe in cookie-cutter fitness or nutrition. Personalization, motivation, and accountability will all be built into your experience when you're working with me. My transformation started in my mid-forties when I fell in love with the process. I can help you do the same regardless of your age and fitness level.

My go-to workout

30-40 min weightlifting session followed by yoga. Short, but effective!

Healthy food I love

Big salads with lean proteins and a splash of a Greek yogurt dressing.

Healthy food I hate

I don't do sugar-free. Sugar substitutes give me headaches.

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"
