I’m a health coach and personal trainer based in Boulder, Colorado. For more than 25 years, I’ve helped women build strength, improve their health, and create habits that support their goals.
Like many people, I wasn’t naturally drawn to exercise. In my twenties, I wanted to be fit and healthy but had no idea where to start. Hiring a personal trainer changed how I saw myself. I realized that strength meant more than “toning,” that I didn’t have to be an athlete to be fit, and that I was capable of more than I had imagined.
That experience inspired me to leave my career in web design and become a personal trainer. I wanted to help other women develop the same confidence, strength, and sense of possibility that had such a profound impact on my own life.
After years of working with women in midlife and beyond, one thing became clear: maintaining muscle, supporting bone density, navigating hormonal changes, and staying active and capable were essential. I also saw how difficult it was for women to find clear, practical guidance they could trust.
Today, I combine strength training, nutrition, and habit coaching to help women take a proactive approach to their health. I believe lasting change doesn’t come from perfection or willpower. It comes from building the right skills, habits, and systems. My approach is practical, evidence-based, and designed to fit real life.
I believe lasting change doesn’t come from perfection or willpower. It comes from building the right skills, habits, and systems over time. My goal is to help women feel stronger, more confident, and equipped with the tools they need to support their health for years to come.
