About

Owner/Lead Coach of Starfish Strength -Personal Training & Group Classes -Motivation & Accountability Coaching -Making Wellness Approachable and Fun! linktr.ee/starfishstrength About Me: I am driven by a passion to help others develop physical and mental strength to pursue what makes them feel purposeful and successful. I see my purpose as a ‘facilitator of fitness’ who works in tandem with clients, asking good questions, sharing inspiration and being an innovative problem solver who brings out the best in them. My coaching style focuses on establishing key movement patterns and incremental behavior change, leading to clients to a long-term relationship with physical and mental well-being. I am an unlikely person to have wound up with a career in fitness. As a kid, athletic movement felt like an impossible math problem to me, and I was more likely to score another ankle sprain than a soccer goal. After being laid off from my dream job at the time, binge eating became a frequent coping mechanism, and by age 27 I weighed about 350lbs. More importantly, I married the love of my life at age 27, and thinking about our future helped me acknowledge that I wanted a long healthy life together. I began to notice that I didn’t have back and knee pain, that I panted less going up the stairs. Over 7 years I lost 170 lbs. As I felt better, I wanted to do more. Living more richly made me want to do more healthful behaviors and set bigger goals. My desire to help others set me on a deep journey to uncover the science behind physical and mental well-being and what I could do to make it available to others. What I now realize is that the psychological shift in my perspective was the secret sauce of the radical change that I experienced in my mind, body, and entire lifestyle. Its empowered me to reassess what I am capable of, and set grander goals. I still feel like a starfish out of water sometimes, but it is often my imperfections that help me make exercise feel appr
