How I work differently

Since entering the health and fitness industry in 2011, I've worked with a lot of people with a broad range of ability levels and goals (e.g. from high performing athletes to those who have significant mobility impediments). I've found that the key to any client's success is being flexible in my approach and adjusting over time, rather than rigidly sticking to one diet or workout regimen.
In my experience, the classic personal training approach of guiding and motivating someone through a couple of workouts a week and hoping they stick to their nutrition and exercise program in the meantime is limited.
I include daily accountability to ensure that clients are able to be consistent with the program, which helps us make any necessary adjustments to keep them consistent.
We can spend our sessions together in a variety of ways, beyond working out. While the exercise aspect is important, lifestyle integration is key. I guide my clients through the entire process, including nutrition coaching, grocery shopping, basic cooking lessons, mindfulness and stress reduction techniques, or whatever else we may decide is necessary to get you on the right path to achieve your goals. I will help you however I can in order to guide you through the entirety of your wellness journey.

Working with me

I work with all of my clients on a month-to-month basis. My offerings range from app-based programming, for those who need less support but would like individualized workout programs, to meeting several times a week.

It all depends on how much support you desire and what you can commit tokeeping in mind we can adjust as we go. I provide brief daily check-ins and offer a wide variety of session types depending on where you need the most support.

My Methods

Strength and Mobility - Range of motion alone will not protect your body from injuries. Strength alone will not protect your joints or enhance your performance. The methods I use are meant to build strength through your body's full range of motion to help prevent injuries and have you performing at your best.

Balance and Symmetry - The muscles in your body are meant to work together as on cohesive unit. Over time, your body has been thrown around so much that it has lost its natural symmetry. We will work together to get you back in balance and moving how you are meant to move.

Food as Medicine - There is no one size fits all diet that works for everyone. Different people react differently to all sorts of foods. We will work to zero in on what will have you feeling your best, balanced with foods that you enjoy so it can be a sustainable diet for you.

Lifestyle management - We will work together to develop the structure, routine, and habits that work best for YOU. This can include helping you with feeling overwhelmed in the kitchen or the grocery store, learning simple stress reduction techniques like mindfulness, or simply finding ways to fit everything into your schedule without feeling overwhelmed.
