About Me
Because wellness isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating a life that feels good inside and out.
Wellness hasn’t always come easily for me. I’ve had my share of ups and downs, just like many of the people I’ve worked with. What I’ve learned along the way is that feeling strong, confident, and balanced isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about shifting your mindset and creating habits that truly fit your life.
My journey through dance, fitness, health coaching, and health and wellness education has shaped how I think about well-being today: as something deeply personal that evolves throughout our lives. For me, wellness is about living with greater energy, balance, and joy, and helping others discover what that can look like in their own lives.
Why I Coach:
Health and wellness aren’t just about being stronger or leaner. They’re about creating a well-balanced, vibrant life.
I understand what it feels like to lack balance. I’ve had many ups and downs myself, but learning to prioritize balance and, most importantly, shift my mindset has been a game changer. That shift has allowed me to live with more strength, energy, and joy.
Coaching gives me the opportunity to help others explore what well-being means for them. Not by prescribing a perfect path, but by listening, asking meaningful questions, and helping people identify changes that feel realistic and sustainable in their own lives.

From Dance to the Stage:
My love of movement started at a very young age. I honestly think I was born wearing a dance costume and immediately moving around the room!
My interest in dance began soon after I could walk and blossomed into a passion for acting and singing as well. I went on to pursue musical theatre and graduated with a Bachelor of Music (B.M.) from New York University. I performed throughout my childhood, college years, and early 20s. But as much as I loved performing, I eventually realized the lifestyle wasn’t the right fit for me.
Discovering Fitness:
Fitness became another lifelong passion of mine early on. As a teenager, before I was old enough to join a gym, I exercised to workout videos at home and took Jazzercise and aerobics classes locally. Over the years, the way I move has changed: from dance and group fitness to indoor cycling, strength training, home workouts, and simply getting outside for a walk or a hike, but movement has always remained an important part of my life.
After graduating from college, while performing on a cruise ship, I got the opportunity to sub for the fitness director and teach group fitness classes when she was injured. I had never taught before, but from the very first class, I was hooked. That experience began a connection to the health and fitness field that has continued for more than 20 years and has evolved right along with me.
I fully believe that our uniqueness as individuals is a gift, and one that should be embraced. That belief is at the heart of my approach to coaching.
I believe in compassionate, client-centered coaching that empowers people through education and personalized support. Together, we focus on sustainable habits, nurture the mind-body connection, and create space for meaningful personal growth. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness. The goal is to discover what works for you.
