My Mission

Making an impact by facilitating long-term behavioral change that creates opportunities for my clients to live their healthiest lives is what inspires me. I love what I do because seeing people envision then become all they can be is the most rewarding experience I can imagine. I was not "allowed" to exercise as a child. My mom caught me doing pushups once and made me stop because she said "your arms will get big." Having asthma, I sat out of gym class. As an adult, it was not until after my first daughter was born, having gained over 100 lbs., that I started exercising. I LOVED the feeling of work and accomplishment. For years, I wondered how one actually teaches fitness. When I had the nerve to actually attend in-person classes, I began to immerse myself in the process and learn from my instructors. I took the leap and got my group X certificate. I learned (and was told) that I was a natural. That is where my professional career began. I then became a Personal Trainer & here we are!

Together we will make what seems impossible possible. I believe it and you will too. Let's do this!

Why Train With Me

One of my favorite things to do is to design programs. I focus on the individual, their goals, their abilities, their limitations, and create programs that are safe, progressive, and FUN! To give you an idea of who I am: My son was describing one of his college professors and said "You know mom, he reminds me of you. He is contagiously positive. I just can't be in a bad mood around him." That is what I use in my training. My clients WANT to see me and rise to my challenges.

My go-to workout

I love strength training because as we age strength is so important to metabolism & fat reduction.

Healthy food I love

I love soups & stews made with healthy ingredients in the winter. In the summer I LOVE watermelon!

Healthy food I hate

Raw AVOCADOS, and yes, I get it, that it is weird but true. Even weirder I do love guacamole.

Favorite workout music

Classic rock, but I really love anything with a good beat that pushes me to dig deep.

What people are most surprised to learn about me

That I was not "born this way." I have to work just as hard as anyone to stay on a healthy program.

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!"
