When I first started in this business in 2016, I wanted to help people become healthier by feeling fit and strong.

Part of me thought this meant losing weight, and part felt like this was more inner work.

I never used Before and After photos to showcase my client’s progress or my work as a trainer. It never felt right.

Then, in 2020, I started doing anti-racism work and learned that the 72 billion dollar diet industry preys on vulnerable folks and marginalized folks and continues to make them feel less than and never enough by peddling yucky products, hardcore workouts, and all-around bad vibes.

In the fitness world, I began to unpack my biases around larger bodies, anti-fat bias, race, etc.

I began to see that all bodies are inherently good and that different approaches exist for other people.

We could all consume the same diet, move the same, and still have different body types.

Some call it body resilience or liberation, and I love both terms.

I choose not to be a weight loss-focused coach and to let my clients have more bodily autonomy. They are not “compliant” to me about their workouts. I am the guide, and they are the drivers on this journey.

Instead, I teach people how to associate back to their bodies and what they need. To dial into rest, hunger cues, and anything else that needs to be taken care of vs. pushing themselves into another workout, diet, etc.

So you won’t find any weight, body, or girth measurements here. I take structural measurements that have nothing to do with your body size and instead, tell me how you are functioning physically and where we need to go. I focus on your energy, alignment, stamina, body awareness, and connection.

It gives you way more of a long game with fitness and movement that extends beyond the time we work together.

My vision is a world where people are pain-free, confident, strong, in tune with their bodies, and have a compassionate relationship with movement.

My mission is teaching movement and coaching *women through a trauma-informed lens.

*I am trained to coach cis-gender women and welcome anyone who identifies as non-binary or transgender.
