Fun facts…

• I met my hubby at intermission of Rent the musical in SF- we dated for less than a month before he went back to Australia and I told my parents I met the man I was going to marry just after…, we were engaged 6 months later and married within a year all long distance. We just celebrated 12 years (2022)

• My oldest was born in Australia and it’s actually where I first got my personal training certificate. It was very intensive, took over a year and I got a lot of hands-on experience but when I moved back to the US, I needed to do it the U.S. way so I got another certificate through ACE personal training so I am dual certified:)

• The four of us are all dual citizens of The US and Australia. I’m pretty proud of this.

• I am an avid reader and especially love fantasy (with some romance mixed in:) I don’t really watch TV but I’ll read 2-3 books a week.

• I love fitness- I love food- I love being healthy… but you’ll never see me on a diet or promoting anything restrictive because that is just a miserable way to live and never lasts! I love helping you feel your best inside and out but to me, it’s all about living a healthy lifestyle, a balanced lifestyle.

• I love listening to uplifting books or podcasts while out on a long run- lately my runs are short but I still sneak in lots of inspiring books and podcasts wherever I can.

• I do really that how you start your day sets the tone for your whole day and having a morning routine makes all the difference - daily self-care is my jam but you might be surprised that I rarely wake up & bounce out of bed with a ton of energy. Luckily, I have tricks that help me get up and get going. I always feel better with an early start and there’s something pretty amazing about a quiet cup of coffee and meditation before the chaos of the day (and kids lol) PS. I still sleep in sometimes too… again- balance!)

• I am always a student striving to be better. I teach by learning & I always practice what I preach. I have been through my own battles that have helped me become who I am today (from Anorexia in college, through a shit ton of negative self-talk and body image issues that I’ve worked through…) These things have truly helped me be a better personal trainer and coach.

• I’m super close to my family- I have 2 older brothers and a younger sister and our parents have been married for over 50 years! These are my favorite people to have dinner and drink wine with on any given day.

• I eat gluten (even make my own sourdough bread.) And I love wine! I also love my green juice and superfood shakes.

• I’m a passionate entrepreneur and have partnered with a couple of companies that have wellness products that have made a significant difference in my life, I recommend certain products on my website and these are all products I personally use. If you are curious about the products I recommend, I’d love to be your trusted resource but please do your research and ask questions!

• I love helping others, connecting with others, just surrounding myself with other amazing people who are positive, doers that have a can-do attitude - I truly believe we rise by lifting others up.
