About
Hello Friends,
I started my passion for a healthy lifestyle in my early twenties when I wandered into a yoga class looking to soothe my chronic low back pain. In no time I was hooked on yoga and its powerful healing abilities. I had been a successful singer-songwriter in the music business for many years, but by the time I was 30, I was tired of the stresses associated with being a professional musician and decided to become a Certified Yoga Teacher.
In the years to follow, I would continue my health journey by becoming Certified in Plant-Based Nutrition through the Nutrition Studies program at Cornell University. Becoming plant-based cured my chronic migraines, acid reflux, acne and other health issues I had struggled with since I was a teen.
I am Certified in Personal Training through the well-regarded National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM.) as well as Corrective Exercise (also thru NASM.) Resistance, core and functional (postural) training have quickly become some of my deepest passions. Especially in connection to helping women become healthy, happy and hormonally balanced from their childbearing years and through and beyond menopause. That said, Personal Training informs us ALL to live balanced and strong - free of chronic structural pain.
I bring nearly 20 years of wellness experience and knowledge to the table when working with my clients. Simply: if you have the inspiration to meet your goals, I can create a program for you to succeed. I have helped so many different people frame out their goals and regain their health, including people with chronic illness, shoulder and other structural injuries, postpartum or Covid weight gain, chronic back pain, and those who simply did not think they could achieve their personal goals.
Currently I am a lead trainer at Cathedral Oaks Athletic Club. I also have my own private clientele as well as teach classes at Ritz Carlton Bacara Resort. I also bring (or have brought) my fitness expertise to: Goleta Unified Elementary School District, Santa Barbara Yoga Center, Evergreen Preschool, Yardi Systems, Raytheon Technologies, YMCA Montecito, Santa Barbara Athletic Club and Ojai Athletic Club as well as countless private groups, corporations, and individuals.
