I come from a background in martial arts and hockey.  Most of my youth was dedicated to martial arts where I gravitated towards the competitiveness of the practice, built self-confidence and it helped to focus some of my fiery nature. I competed throughout the years and worked my way through the ranks, earning a blackbelt in Tang-Soo-Do. Today I practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, proudly wearing my blue belt at McHugh Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My eyes are set on diving into competitions this year, with a longterm mission of becoming a Black Belt by age 40.

In middle school, I fell in love with hockey, and that love continued to the end of my college career. Hockey showed me what it felt like to be a part of a team and what it meant to adopt a team-first mentality. I’m forever grateful for the game, the community, and the people along the way.

Somewhere along the way, I suffered a back injury. Working a corporate job, I had no real thoughts or understanding of taking care of myself and it sent me to a dark place. I started to wake up a bit, gaining more interest in holistic health, taking care of my mind, body, and spirit, and I’ve been on this path ever since.

I first started working with others in a corporate fitness environment and I really enjoyed it. I felt like I could relate and make a big impact there. Running a full program and large groups of boot camp-style classes, I brought an energy that seemed to carry throughout the room. Working with athletes was again a place I felt like I could relate to. Having gone through what they were going through, I could help them avoid some of the mistakes I had made.

So today, I combine passions and work with both working professionals and athletes, both of which I really enjoy. If you are living a life in pain, you feel stiff, could use some accountability to get more active or if you want to introduce healthy habits and build a solid foundation to create a more fulfilling pain-free life, then we would be a good fit for one another and I can’t wait to meet with you!
