What to expect in my class

I coach people to rebuild and reconnect with their bodies. You will be encouraged to practice core-stabilizing breath as we progressively push towards greater strength and postural stability. My methods help with healthy aging and injury prevention, lessening stress, and feeling amazing.

How I got into fitness

I loved coaching my cousin’s frisbee team and a personal trainer friend guessed that I would mesh well with fitness. I have been exploring and teaching bodyweight and reformer exercises ever since! 

Favourite way to sweat

Climbing and exploring hills and mountains. Swimming or canoeing.

Fun fact

Breath-work is my favourite part of exercising.
