About Me

My appreciation for health and fitness began at age twenty, when I developed Type 1 Diabetes. I went on my first run (down the driveway and back) that very same week, and I haven't stopped running since. Eighteen years of trail runs, obstacle course races, and a half-marathon later, I’m still curious about what’s possible.

My background and education was originally in religion and philosophy, which funneled me into a number of direct care positions. I have spent the last eight years working with patients managing chronic pain and recovering from injury, pairing therapeutic massage with corrective exercise to help reduce recovery time and regain strength for life. 

Living with a chronic illness has taught me that fitness is an integral part of whole-person health: regular activity, mindful eating, and stress management all support each other. This is the perspective I take with every client, collaborating with you to build training programs that support your unique needs and demands. I especially enjoy working with beginners, helping you build confidence in yourself and in all that you can do. 

In my free time, you’ll find me running trails, reading, hiking, baking bread, and searching out the perfect cortado.
