I started doing group fitness at the age of 18. That sparked my passion for movement that has continued over the past 35 years. While serving in the Air Force that passion resulted in achieving a group fitness certification. I taught classes as a side gig while serving. When the Air Force changed the fitness standards, I became a Physical Fitness Leader designing programs to help Airmen to get fit and stay fit. That sparked my interest in continuing her fitness journey and I became a certified personal trainer. Since then, I’ve helped many clients overcome various conditions and regain their physical freedom. My clients range from training a Miss Texas contestant to helping a senior client regain their physical confidence following a fall. I have many clients who’s goals are regaining their bone strength as they age, recovering from a knee replacement or various other medical conditions. As well as clients who have never worked out before but now realize they need to support their bodies better as they age.

My passion is to create effective movement programs but to educate you how the body works. Understanding the muscles you are using and their their function is important in connecting the mind to the muscle movement. During the first session, I will observe various basic movements to better understand your starting fitness level and what form corrections need to be addressed before progressing. Each session includes different movements that target the entire body moving together as well as a few movements that target specific muscles. Moving through a normal range of motion as the body is designed is more important than doing amazon looking feats that end up leaving you with shoulder surgery. Another important aspect of a healthy lifestyle is to embark on a journey of internal transformation as well as physical transformation. This addresses how you think and taking small steps to understand what you are doing and why. It is more that simply establishing a set of skills to follow. It is rewriting defeating thoughts into ones that support your life journey. As we spend time together, I get to know my clients and can help them work through rewriting of these thoughts and over come road blocks for future progress. One step at a time.

Many of my clients experience and increased range of motion and strength to perform their daily activities with reduced or no pain. As they get stronger they experience freedom of movement. Often fear creeps in because clients are not confident in their body’s ability to support their activity. This is most common in those who are sedentary or who have experienced and injury and are scared of getting hurt if they start moving. Over coming they fear and becoming more confident in their body dive them the freedom to do more, live more and travel more.
