Movement Training 

Personal Training

I have been certified and have worked as a personal trainer since 2014. During that time, I have gained certifications in behavior change, corrective exercise, Pilates Reformer instruction, group fitness instruction, and mat pilates. I am also certified as a health coach. I am also committing a bit of study time toward Yoga teacher training. Other areas of interest are: peri-menopause/menopause, fitness nutrition, and postural stability training.

In addition to these 'credentials', I have spent adulthood on my very own wellness journey, discovering how and why movement is important and helpful during multiple life transitions and stressors. 

As a trainer and a therapist, I realize that exercise and nutrition are often complicated and loaded topics for us. I use the skills I have gained in my training and experience as a therapist to create a space to explore what feels right for YOU. Some of these skills include: encouraging a healthy dose of self compassion, maintaining a nonjudgmental stance, and bringing a collaborative spirit. I endeavor to meet each client where they are. Fitness does not need to be painful, frustrating, shaming, and demoralizing for you to reach your goals! We will work together to determine what YOUR goals are; and we will find ways to work toward them that fit YOUR life and YOUR experience of movement.
