My Story
My Mission
I am committed to working with you to maintain your independence and enhance your quality of life. Together, we will make your daily activities easier and more enjoyable, allowing you to continue doing what you love with confidence and ease.
Just like healthcare has both primary care providers and specialists, I believe fitness should be approached the same way. As an Active-Aging & Older Adult Fitness Specialist, I focus on providing expert guidance tailored to the specific needs of Gen-X, Baby Boomers, and Beyond (XBB),
My Journey
My passion for fitness began in high school, where I discovered the power of strength and movement through weightlifting and track (sprints/hurdles). That passion became a lifelong commitment—not just out of love, but out of necessity. At age 14, I underwent major spinal surgery for scoliosis (spinal fusion with a Harrington rod). Staying active became essential for maintaining my strength, mobility, and overall well-being.
For 12 years, I worked as an automotive technician—a physically demanding career that required me to stay strong and fit. I maintained a consistent strength training routine and explored various group fitness classes. At the same time, I pursued another passion: Belly Dance, performing professionally at venues both locally and internationally. These accomplishments were particularly meaningful, as I achieved them despite having permanently limited flexibility and range of motion.
My Expertise
In 2013, I became a certified Group Fitness Instructor through the American Council on Exercise (ACE) to share my passion for fitness with others. While I’ve taught a variety of exercise formats, I developed a special connection with my 50+ adult fitness classes.
Continuing education has been a key part of my journey, allowing me to deepen my expertise and expand my offerings:
-
AFAA Group Fitness Certification
-
ACE Senior Fitness Specialty
-
SilverSneakers® & SilverSneakers® FLEX Instructor
-
Certified Nordic Body Instructor
-
ACE Certified Personal Trainer
My Vision
In 2021, I launched my own business, dedicated to serving adults over 50 through my XBB Program. My goal is to help you feel strong, capable, and empowered—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
I FOCUS ON YOU—helping you unlock your inner strength, build confidence, and become the best version of yourself.

Let’s move forward together!
