Helping you build strength, confidence & healthy habits
I believe fitness should be something you enjoy—not something you dread. My goal is to help people of all ages become stronger, healthier, and more confident while creating healthy habits that can last a lifetime.
With more than 20 years of experience as a homeschool educator and a passion for health and fitness, I love combining education, movement, and encouragement to help each person reach their individual goals.
Why Train With Me?
As a mom, wife, grandmother, educator, and fitness professional, I understand that life can be busy. Fitness doesn’t have to mean spending hours in a gym. My goal is to help you find practical ways to incorporate movement and healthy habits into everyday life.
I especially enjoy working with teens, women, and homeschool students.
My Menopause Journey
I understand the challenges of menopause not only as a personal trainer, but from personal experience.
During menopause, I struggled with changes in my body and gained 30 pounds, something that was frustrating and difficult to navigate. Through that experience, I learned that the answer wasn’t about quick fixes or extreme diets—it was about strength training, consistent movement, nutrition, patience, and learning to work with my changing body.
I worked through those challenges and came out on the other side stronger, healthier, and more confident than before.
That experience has given me an even greater passion for helping other women navigate perimenopause and menopause. I understand the frustration of feeling like your body is changing in ways you can’t control, and I want women to know that they are not alone—and it’s never too late to get stronger.
Today, I use both my professional experience and my own journey to encourage women to embrace this stage of life, build strength, create healthy habits, and feel confident in their bodies again.
Menopause isn’t the end of your fitness journey. It can be the beginning of your strongest chapter yet.
