My Fitness Journey

I found the combination of strength training, stretch, and self-myofascial rolling to be key in improving mobility and eradicating pain.  I've personally had muscle pains and a knee meniscus tear and successfully managed both without surgery after consistently implementing these practices.  I want to teach and encourage others to use strength training, stretch, and self-myofascial rolling as a way to give ourselves the best self-care effectively, intentionally, and holistically. 

 

I believe that fitness is a lifelong journey.  It's fundamental to have a personable coach whom you can trust, who will challenge you as an individual, guide you toward self-care, and meet you wherever you are on your journey. 

My Approach

CORE, STRETCH & ROLL

I’ve created an original fusion class format that incorporates postural strength training through barre, sculpt, and self-myofascial massage using foam rollers & therapy balls. This is a unique combination of core, stretch and self-myofascial rolling to give students both strength training and restorative practices of self-massage. 

Using isometric strengthening and lengthening, the techniques improve bone density and mobility while building muscle. The self-myofascial rolling (SMR) loosens tight muscles, increases blood circulation, and prevents and alleviates muscle pain. It's a corrective exercise routine that improves mobility and balance. 

 

STRETCH & ROLL

I’m also excited to design a mind and body experience that offers stretch and rolling, which are beneficial for restoring the body. By demonstrating proper stretching and rolling techniques to relieve muscle tightness and pain using various self-myofascial rolling tools, this practice is an excellent way to prevent injuries and relieve muscle soreness from all physical activities, including functional movements and sports.

 

My goal is that everyone who trains with me leaves feeling empowered and restored. I invite you to join me on a journey that brings together strength building and soul nourishment.
