Summary

Certified Indoor Cycling Instructor and ISSA Fitness Coach skilled in helping riders and clients push past their own boundaries. I enjoy connecting with humans and making them feel stronger, more confident in their skin & overall better about themselves. I understand the connection between music and movement and allow the music to lead as much as I do on the bike. In my fitness training sessions, I like to get creative with workouts and combine movements to target multiple muscle groups. I specialize in lengthening and toning. I am compassionate and truly want to bring out the best in others, combining human connection tools innately in me, and skills I have mastered through studies and hard work.
