A little about me: I am a passionate and enthusiastic trainer entering my third year residing and training in Denver. Prior to that I spent five years training in Boston after graduating with a B.S. in Exercise Science. I have found a sweet balance of having fun during sessions while also being as efficient and productive as possible. You can expect to have a very motivating and uplifting experience working with me!

A little about my clientele: The two populations that I primarily work with are weight loss clients or those who want to focus on function (ex. correct posture, pre/rehab an injury, improve mobility and joint range of motion, etc.). Every individual program is 100% tailored to the individual I am working with and personalized based on goals, movement limitations, health history, etc. We will have an initial consultation prior to our first official session so that I can ensure that each and every movement we go through benefits your body and will lead you to results. 

A little about how we will train: As I mentioned above, we will have an interview/assessment so that I have all of the information that I need to develop your program. Here is what you can expect from that: - Verbal interview: we will discuss your goals and timeline to outline your exercise type, frequency, intensity, etc.. From there we will go over your exercise and health history to address any medical limitations, relevant areas of injury or sensitivity, etc.. This is the part where I want you to truly open up and tell me everything about your relationship with food or exercise along with what I can do to drive you to your end goal. - Movement Screening: I will have you go through seven movement patterns that will provide me with insight on your joint mobility, stability, proprioception/motor control, and much more. This may be the most important part - I will see what your body lacks and needs and where its strong suits lay. A little about each 60 min session: 5 mins Self myofascial release (foam rolling + trigger point) 5 mins Mobility drills + dynamic stretches 40 mins Main workout (full body exercises varying from person to person) 10 mins HIIT finisher

My favorite client story

Helping a client reach quite an ambitious goal. She came to me recovering from ACL surgery, 35lbs overweight from her goal weight, and only a few months out from her wedding. We’re talking about juggling the goals of rehabbing a knee, losing significant weight and being in the necessary cardiovascular/physical condition to perform a 4 day hike on her honeymoon.

This client blew me away with her hard work, willingness to learn, and mental strength to push through and hit all of those goals listed above. She lost 35lbs as planned AND ten additional pounds! She hiked with no knee pain, impressive stamina and had impeccable confidence in her aesthetics the whole way.

My favorite exercise

Elevated barbell hip thrusts!

My favorite quote

“Get in the habit of asking yourself ‘does this choice lead me closer to or further from the life I’m trying to create’ “

My training philosophy

What happens outside of our sessions matters far more than what happens during them. My goal is to provide you with the tools that will allow you to gain independence and confidence to stay on track when I am not physically present to push you. My job is to educate you on how to reach your goals outside of the hours spent in the gym with me. We will focus on recovery, proper nutrition, self-accountability, independent workouts, stress levels, etc. to ensure that you are constantly working towards becoming your best self.
