Around 2012 I became an avid weight lifter. I loved the rush of endorphins that came with lifting. 

2014 I was introduced to my first ever yoga class, this was through Yoga Teacher Training, because I am an "all in" type of person... I figured why not just get certified and see how it goes! This experience, changed not only my career path but also my life journey. 

I met my husband (and two step-sons) in 2015, became NETA Wellness coach certified that same year. During this time, I was studying for my personal training certification (which I became certified in spring 2016) and teaching yoga. We got married summer of 2016 and my husband deployed with the National Guard that following winter. ACE Fitness Nutrition certification in 2017. 

Homebirth baby #1 came along in 2018 along with PN certification and moving away from my gym job to begin my own business in 2019. 

Cue 2020... Pregnancy and homebirth baby#2, YA 200-hour Kundalini Yoga certification, deployment #2 and moving.

2021 was a fun year, settling into our new home and understanding life as a mom of two young kids and two pre-teens along with a large wooded yard for foraging and a garden to maintain. My body... was dealing with the discomforts of having carried two children... In steps CES Pre and Post Natal Corrective Exercise. Through healing myself, I have been able to help many women and men feel much better and more successful in their wellness journeys. 
In 2022 I became certified and 2023 began co-teaching a Restorative/Yin Yoga and Tibetan Singing Bowls class with Falina Stammer (balancedelementsrtb.com) at RiverWell Movement (rwmovement.com) in Monticello. I also, at this time, made RiverWell my homebase for personal training, coaching, workshops, and seminars. 

Because I am always exploring new and tried-and-true holistic approaches to health and wellness, my education is continuing to grow to be able to help those in my life and who I work with. No two bodies are the same, each client is a new puzzle to piece together and understand.
