For almost a decade I have had the honor to support and educate the East Vancouver community through fitness. Alongside this journey, my own personal athletic pursuits—weight lifting, boxing, wrestling, volleyball, pole dancing, and various other sports—have shaped a deep appreciation for how movement has a transformative power. Professionally, my path has included group studio fitness, workshops, outdoor classes, online classes during the challenges of covid, and, most predominantly, Personal Training.

Working one-on-one with clients and providing a safe environment to learn, laugh, and sweat has expanded throughout the years to include my own passions; somatic cuing, pre and rehab exercises, feelings centered goals, trauma informed and client centered approaches.

I strive to help clients feel secure and confident in their own bodies, to pursue movement in new and exciting ways on their own terms, every day. I feel goals should shift and change every day and learning to flow with our up's and down's takes flexibility and trust, which I hope to instill. 

What happens in the gym extends far beyond its walls. Every time we move intentionally we can build capacity and confidence that carries into daily life—encouraging better posture, openness, and more cognitive and physical flexibility for oneself and others. Physical fortitude serves as a powerful reminder that we can breathe through most things when we are present and intentional.

As a personal trainer, my commitment is to teach movement with ease, reduce pain, explore functional movement, build strength, and foster safety and confidence. The hope is always to inspire others to create a ripple effect within the communities I serve.

Exceeding perceived limits and reaching new goals instills a powerful message:
I can do this.
I belong here.

I am; worthy of strength.
