EXCEPTIONAL TRAINER X MOM X COACH X ATHLETE X ENTREPRENEUR

I get it.

I have been FAR from perfect in prioritizing or maintaining my health over the years. Some years I ​could run a marathon while other years, I was half-heartedly trying to stick some sort of exercise ​into a packed calendar while really enjoying (and often prioritizing) all the amazing food and wine ​the Bay Area offers.

Between a long and demanding career in biotech (primarily oncology), business school, fertility ​issues/pregnancy/raising my amazing daughter, and some major life changes, I genuinely ​understand how difficult it can be to prioritize healthy eating and regular exercise amidst a busy ​life. Moreover, learning how to prioritize my health, despite other life commitments, has provided ​me with valuable insights into balancing commitments that I expect you’ll find useful.

Today, raising a (now 11yr old!) daughter, I am fully aware of the example I set, and am driven by ​what I can DO vs. what I look like. I’ve come to realize that by prioritizing two pillars - strength and ​recovery - my own health goals continue to be attainable.

Returning to the fitness industry full-time in 2022, allowed me to continue helping others and ​ultimately drove me to spend most of my employed time working 1:1 with inspired clients. You’ll ​never find before/after pics here - of me or others - because YOUR journey, YOUR life, YOUR ​goals are unique. Similar to seeing my daughter learn something new, or a mentee really hitting ​their professional dreams, my satisfaction as a trainer comes purely from watching you commit to ​progress then see you hit EACH GOAL!
