In her own words...
In college, I became interested in science and just happened to take the ACE exam. Being a personal trainer was a great fit for me. In retrospect, I realized I had "coached" naturally since I was a child. I was always spotting my sisters and giving them pointers while they tried gymnastic tumbling routines we’d seen on TV.

Now, my two dogs (a yellow and a black lab) are a huge part of my personal fitness routine; they keep me active. We walk and play every day. I do yoga with them at home and I stretch them as I stretch. They also come biking and hiking with my husband and me. They are relentless if they think they won't be getting out.

As a wellness consultant, I want to learn from each person I work with. I think deep down we know what is right for us and I try to make people aware of the answers they already have.
