My fitness journey began after the birth of my first daughter, during a season that felt overwhelming and disconnected. I started running (very long distances) just to burn off calories, but everything shifted when a trainer handed me a set of dumbbells and taught me how to use them. That moment opened my eyes to a more empowering, whole-person approach to movement, one that goes beyond appearance and includes strength, nourishment, sleep, and stress management. I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, a NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist, and a Women’s Coaching Specialist through Girls Gone Strong. I’m also working toward my Level 1 Precision Nutrition certification to help clients align how they move, eat, and recover. What brought me to Pursuit is the shared belief that fitness should meet you where you are and support your entire life—not just the hour you spend in the gym.
