Summary

As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with a specialized focus on clients undergoing cancer treatment, menopause, and those with bone health concerns, I excel in creating personalized, mindful exercise regimes. My expertise lies in fostering functional movement and self-care, underpinned by a compassionate approach and deep knowledge of fitness for middle to mature age groups.


I am interested in expanding my reach through teaching Spin or Cycling classes.. I have a cycling range from the young and fit competitors to the tailored classes for the specialty populations I've been working with for the past 5 years.
