About

I am a huge proponent of living, moving and eating well. As a trainer, I educate my clients on all the components of an optimal lifestyle: sleep, movement, nutrition, and stress management. My intention is to help people feel and live better, and see things in a more positive light. I also strive to continuously be better in my own body, mind and life, and do so through continued education, self-studies, working with others, and practice. I am passionate about applying and sharing these great tools with others.
I grew up as a dancer and became greatly interested in all things health and fitness during early college. After graduating from Michigan State University with a BA in Communication, I moved to Portland in pursuit of adventure and job satisfaction. Further education in a field that inspired me led me to Portland Community College’s Fitness Technology Program. Since then, I have sought out numerous workshops, seminars, and certifications with many influential experts in the field. I specialize in one-on-one and semi-private personal training. I emphasize strength and conditioning, functional exercise, mobility, and other restorative therapies.
I offer personal and semi-private (duo) training in Portland at Energy Fitness Concepts on NW 18th Ave, near the Pearl District and also offer digital/hybrid training via Tandem Personal Training. Additionally, I provide online nutrition coaching (or mix of in-person/online), which is open to those outside of the Portland area as well. I utilize the Precision Nutrition ProCoach online platform to coach clients in a practice/habit-based manner. Lastly, I have a blog, Paleo in PDX, which is full of healthy recipes. Every month, I go on KATU Afternoon Live and do cooking demos too. Check out my latest TV segment HERE.
