I didn't start here. I became here.
I spent years as a special education teacher — showing up for other people, figuring out how to meet them exactly where they were, and finding creative ways to help them grow. That work shaped everything about how I coach today.
Then I became a mom. And like a lot of women, I hit a point where my own health and body fell to the bottom of the priority list. I was tired, disconnected from myself, and looking for something that felt like mine.
Yoga became the missing piece. Then I learned what it truly meant to strength train. And somewhere in the space between the mat and the barbell, I found the version of myself I had been looking for all along.
I am done talking about bodies that need to be fixed. Your body is not a problem to solve. It is the place you live. And it deserves to be treated that way.
My 40s are the strongest years of my life.
I know that's not what we're told to expect. We're told our metabolism slows, our bodies change, that we have to work harder for less. And while it's true our bodies do change in our 40s — hormones shift, recovery looks different — I refuse to accept that it means settling.
I built the strongest body I've ever had in my 40s. Without extreme diets. Without punishing workouts. Without giving up yoga, or fun, or eating food I actually enjoy.
I did it by learning how to lift properly, fueling my body to perform, and integrating the movement practices I love — yoga, strength, mobility — into something sustainable. I've been helping women find that same path ever since.
You don't have to choose between strength and balance.
The wellness world wants to separate everything into camps. You're either a lifter or a yogi. You're either tracking macros or eating intuitively. You're either all in or you're doing it wrong.
I don't buy it. The women I work with are whole people — with jobs, kids, practices, preferences, and lives that matter. The goal isn't to overhaul your identity. It's to build something that actually fits.
Whether you're stepping into a weight room for the first time or you've been lifting for years and want to feel better in your body — there is a version of this that works for you. I'm here to help you find it.
