Health and fitness has been my passion as long as I can remember!
My family and my husband Bear have always been supportive and share my passion, and there is not a chance in the world I could have done any of this without them. A former figure competitor, I began teaching Zumba for 6 years until I met and fell in love with CrossFit!
I absolutely love helping people discover what they are capable of when they push past their comfort zone. I am here to motivate, to become more than just a coach. Life has definitely presented me with challenges that have given me the opportunity to push past my limits. One being my Multiple Sclerosis. diagnosis in 2005. This disease has taught me so much about myself and I want to share this strength with others.
To show them what their body is capable of, to help them break through those mental barriers, but most importantly to help change their lives! I have my CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Certification, CrossFit Olympic Weightlifting Certification, and ACE Group Training Certification.
