Biography

I’m a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach with over 15 years of experience working with adults of different ages, fitness levels, and abilities. My areas of expertise include strength training, functional training, senior fitness, weight management and body composition, nutrition, healthy aging, balance, mobility, and fall prevention. A significant part of my career has been dedicated to training older adults and creating individualized programs to improve strength, balance, mobility, functional ability, and independence. I have also worked with clients with Parkinson’s disease, cancer, joint limitations, previous injuries, and other physical challenges that require a safe and personalized approach to exercise. Another important area of my work is helping women during perimenopause and postmenopause, with a focus on strength training, preserving and building muscle mass, improving body composition, and addressing the physical changes that can occur during this stage of life. My background includes a 500 hour Personal Training and Nutrition program through the National Personal Training Institute, along with additional training in TRX, group fitness, and PWR! Parkinson Wellness Recovery. I am also a Certified Nutritional Consultant through the Global College of Natural Medicine. I believe effective training should be personalized. Every program I create is based on the client’s goals, fitness level, abilities, and lifestyle, with an emphasis on proper form, progressive strength training, functional movement, and long term results.
