About Sarah

I have been a fitness enthusiast much of my life. I’ve been in the mental health field for over 20 years and recently completed my personal training certification. I believe that exercise plays an important role in physical and mental wellbeing, and that developing a fitness routine can help individuals find balance and manage stress. I earned certifications in fitness nutrition in 2015 and personal training in 2025, and have completed specialized courses in sports performance anxiety, hard style kettlebell technique, and mindfulness for stress reduction. I offer in-person and virtual personal training, as well as written programs. I have special interest in helping women gain strength and maintain their muscle mass as they age.

Outside training

I was an equestrian for 25 years and now enjoy weight lifting and kettlebell training. I often spend weekends with my husband, family and our rescue cat, who I've taught a few tricks to! I grew up in New Orleans & love anything that reminds me of home.
