Whether you want to gain muscle, lose fat, or live healthily, your limiting factor usually lies beyond exercise. Poor nutrition is what holds people back. As a certified specialist in this area, I can help you dispel the common myths about nutrition, and then work with you to design a "real world" nutrition plan that you can actually stick with and enjoy.

My current lifestyle has allowed me to qualify for, and complete the Boston Marathon in 2011.  I am a 70.3 Ironman finisher, a multi-time Olympic-Distance Triathlete and I am working toward completing my first Ironman Triathlon.

However, my goals have not always been what they are today.  I am the mother of 3 children.  During the happy pregnancy of my first son, I gained over 90 pounds.  After his birth, I knew that I had to make changes for myself and my family and so my journey to my current lifestyle started then.

I can help you reach your current goals and the new goals you will have in the future.  Life will be a happy journey with the right mixes of prudent exercise and appropriate nutrition along the way.

I can help you now and I can help you on your future journey into a healthy lifestyle choice.

Let’s take your passion and make it happen!

My hat can switch through out the day, but I take pride in being confident and true to myself and others. And, I will always appreciate what life has to offer. Personal trainer, spin instructor, TRX instructor, group fitness instructor, titelist performance golf fitness coach, sports nutritional coach, business manager and most importantly a mom, wife and friend.
