Personal Trainer Overview

Enthusiastic Personal Trainer with a Nutrition Background and a passion for fitness. Specialities include weight loss, strength training, body image transformations, and youth training.

Training Philosophy

After a life of struggle with my weight, eating disorders, and body image disorders, I am proud to say I have overcome a lot and developed a true passion for fitness.

The fitness lifestyle has motivated me to become a strong and confident woman, who is devoted to helping my clients build a love for fitness and movement. I enjoy combining my love of both fitness and nutrition when working with clients, and use an all-encompassing approach to create lifestyle change for each and every one of my clients.

I have a passion for helping women through their weight loss journeys, and gaining power and strength back over their bodies. I also specialize in high school clients looking to feel comfortable in their skin and build strength and healthy bodies.

I enjoy working with all types of skill levels, from the elite athlete with a passion for fitness, to the sedentary who dislike exercise but want to get healthy.

I love what I do and look forward to helping my clients each and every day through their body transformations. I take a calm and friendly approach to each client and bring my full enthusiasm to each and every session!

Education

I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Dance for which I studied human anatomy and physiology as well as kinesiology at the college level.

With my Master's of Science in Applied Nutrition with a concentration in fitness, I completed courses such as exercise physiology, motivational behavior change, sports psychology, sports nutrition, biology, human metabolism, and more.

I also hold my NASM certified personal trainer certificate and have completed specialty courses in weight loss, nutrition, children's fitness, and fitness for seniors through NASM.

I am a former AFFA group fitness certified instructor with experience teaching spin, Zumba, dance cardio, and boot camp classes.

Additionally I hold my level one CrossFit Certificate.

Bio

Growing up I was always a dancer, but never considered myself an athlete. Despite many childhood struggles with my weight, dance was the one constant in my life. Even with the many failed diet attempts I made, I could always count on dance to boost my confidence. I ended up pursuing a career in dance, attending Dean College, and receiving a B.A. in Dance. It was during this time, that I witnessed so many unhealthy behaviors among other dancers; myself included, and started learning more and more about nutrition and fitness to better myself as a dancer.

During this time, I struggled with an eating disorder and used weight lifting as a way to get back to a healthy weight. My passion for fitness grew and I swapped my ballet shoes for sneakers, becoming certified as an AFFA group fitness instructor and NASM certified personal trainer. During this time I also received my Master’s of Science in Applied Nutrition from Northeastern University with a concentration in fitness. I suddenly learned the power in finding pride for what my body could do, rather than what it looked like in the mirror. Fitness has given me back so much of my life and I am committed to sharing my passion for it with as many people as I can. Practicing nutrition has also given me an outlet to support other women on their journey to a better body image along with improved health. I am now proud to call myself an athlete and can’t wait to help others do the same.
