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, have a more positive outlook, and be prepared for life. 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. Visit HERE to read some client testimonials.
I lead personal, semi-private (duo) and small group training at Recreate Fitness on NW Thurman and 26th in Portland. Virtual training via Zoom and outdoor training (weather permitting) is an option as well. Additionally, I have a food blog called, Paleo in PDX, which is full of real food, healthy recipes and am a monthly guest recipe contributor on Up & Alive. I've been a reoccurring guest on Portland's KATU Afternoon Live, where I do cooking demos too. Check out one of my segments HERE.
