About
My Journey
As a 213 pound 13-year-old, trauma to my joints had me on crutches for over a year, then in a wheelchair. While I didn’t realize it at the time, I had been using sugar as a way to self-medicate to soothe the pain. My doctors didn’t have answers for when the discomfort would end, so I took matters into my own hands. I threw down my crutches and began a new life with the power of Richard Simmons’ Sweatin’ to the Oldies and Deal-A-Meal.
I knew I needed to move my body and develop a new relationship with food in order to change my life.
At age 22, I was riding my bicycle in San Francisco and BAM! An 18-wheeler knocks me off my bike, runs over me, and keeps going. And I thought THAT was a crazy story to tell…
Three years later (on the same day of the year!) I was nearly killed by a drunk driver while riding my bike in SF.
I was determined to return to a life of movement that I loved!
Building off the skills I learned during the wheelchair days to heal myself, I was able to make my way back onto the bike pedals, my yoga mat, and the dance floor!
I can show you how to fall in love with movement and reap the benefits it brings to life: better sleep, lower stress, better connections with others, better memory retention, confidence, good posture, improved sex life : ) to name a few.
As a NASM certified Personal Trainer, certified Yoga Instructor (200 RYT), group exercise instructor, certified Health Coach and Mindset Coach I bring professional credentials to the table as well as my unique life experiences.
It is my mission to help you fall in LOVE with moving your body no matter where you’re starting from!
