I know what it's like to struggle with pain and feel completely disconnected from your body. My own journey of overcoming injuries through movement,  choosing corrective exercise over surgery led me to where I am today. I'm a certified personal trainer, Pilates instructor, and yoga teacher with over 15 years of experience helping people move better, feel stronger, and live more freely.

I work with people of all backgrounds, fitness levels, and goals, and I'd love to help you find your way back to your body.

Strength and Conditioning

For you if you want to get stronger, gain power, and improve your overall fitness.

Strength training has completely changed how I move, live, and feel. It’s about more than just lifting weights—it’s about building strength in a way that supports your body and your life. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, getting ready for a big event, aiming to improve sports performance or just want to feel more capable in your everyday routine, we’ll work together to get you there in a way that feels sustainable and right for you.

Pilates

For you if you want a gentle way to build strength and flexibility and feel more in tune with your body.

Pilates is my go-to when I need to reconnect with my body and feel balanced. It is gentle but incredibly effective at strengthening and lengthening your muscles while improving joint health. Whether we’re working on the mat or using equipment like the resistance of Pilates spring based equipment, it’s a great complement to any fitness routine—or just a way to feel better in your body day-to-day.

Yoga

For you if you want to slow down, calm your nervous system, and feel more centered.

Yoga and meditation have been an anchor for me during some of the most challenging times in my life. They’re about creating space to breathe, move, and be present. Whether it’s flowing yoga sequences, restorative practices, or quiet moments of breathwork and meditation, these sessions are designed to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and connected to yourself.

Retreats

For you if you're craving a break to explore, connect, and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit...

There’s nothing like stepping away from your everyday life and giving yourself space to reset. On retreats, we slow down and focus on things that really matter—your health, well-being, and joy. Whether it’s yoga, journaling, or just spending time in a beautiful location like Croatia, Costa Rica or Kenya, these retreats create room for you to reconnect with yourself and what you need.
