“Don’t ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs, is people who have come alive.” -Howard Thurman

Being active makes me come alive! I have found no better way to embrace and engage the world around me than to be active and keep playing. My clients know how important this is to me as they hear me say quite frequently… “Recess is for everyone!” I believe that fitness should be the result of a good time and that the key to staying active is having fun. Some of my favorite activities include hiking, kayaking, Nordic skiing, and biking. I am motivated by the idea that physical fitness is important for all of us so that we can play harder and be able to do whatever activities in life we dream of doing. I like to think of fitness as a vehicle and not a destination; a vehicle that can take you wherever you want to go; a vehicle that will help you live life to the fullest. Whether you are looking to backpack for a week in the mountains or simply want to walk your dog further around the neighborhood, together we can achieve your desired fitness level. I have experience working with and designing weight loss programs, water exercise programs, senior fitness, sport-specific programs, outdoor fitness conditioning, and stabilization/ balance training. It is my goal to help each of my clients get inspired, get active, and get going!
