I am certified as an ACE personal trainer, AFAA group fitness instructor, a Precision nutrition & habit coach and a registered Occupational Therapist with 34 years of strength, fitness and rehab experience.
In 1990 I started my career coaching group fitness classes at USC and I currently coach at Life Time Athletics.
In 1993 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy and worked as a hospital-based OT, in physical rehabilitation, for many years.
From 2010-2023, I owned and operated a a small strength training studio and created my Ladies That Lift program. Ladies That Lift was an all female, semi-private training program that provided, a social, fun, non-intimidating environment where women learned proper lifting and nutrition skills.
My fitness and OT experience has taught me the importance of preventable health. Weightlifting helps you build stronger muscles and bones, helps support hormones and metabolism and may help protect you from diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer and other chronic conditions. Lifting is a non- negotiable!
A good coach is an educator, an accountability buddy and is someone that works to provide their clients with the pertinent information and skills to help them become independent of coaching and stay healthy and fit for life. A good online coach is someone that has had years of in person experience.
As a wife, mom, and a business owner, I understand the struggles and the juggling that is required to balance fitness and nutrition. That is why I meet you where you are at and we work together to build you a program that is appropriate for your lifestyle.
