About Coach
From the ballet barre to the barbell. I started my fitness journey as a professionally trained ballet dancer with the American Ballet Theatre and the School of American Ballet. Over the last 5 years I have focused my training and passion on kettlebells, Olympic Weightlifting and Dynamic Sports Performance. Strength training has changed my life and has made me passionate about helping others make positive and empowering change in their lives. Being able to learn and accomplish new skills and modalities has made me more successful in all aspects of my life and found a like minded community.
Turning Point
My turning point was when I realized I no longer recognized myself or my choices. I had stopped being as active and with that I found that I lost passion, focus and empowerment. Finding new forms of fitness brought me back to my core values and realizing that even if fitness is not your profession, it will positively impact your health, community and mind. Movement is medicine and finding types of fitness that brought me joy, saved me.
