About

I have been involved in exercise all my life, staying active and playing sports. In college I earned my BA in Exercise and Sports Science from Western Washington University and stayed active on their collegiate rowing team. Since then I have been involved in public, private and corporate fitness for over 18 years. I currently personal train clients in their home as well as run small group training sessions from my home. I can bring equipment to the client’s home and/or utilize the equipment they have and design a program that is specific to their needs and goals. I always incorporate an element of fun into every session. I enjoy working with people who are motivated to change their health but just don't know the best way to go about it. I believe that my strength is changing things up often enough so clients can see consistent improvements as well as enjoy what they are doing. I have six young children, which gave me a better understanding of the battle to lose weight and regain my level of physical fitness. It is important to me to work with people at their level, but also challenge them so they feel successful.
