A BIT ABOUT ME

As a physical educator, a health and fitness trainer, and aquatics (swim and water polo) coach, successfully guiding and inspiring my clients is at the forefront of my mind. We all lead busy lives, whether or not that’s always a good thing, and sometimes it can be hard to find the motivation to get up and get your body moving. But one thing that is going to make our day to day lives easier to manage - both mentally and physically - is movement. Health and fitness look different on everyone, but a large reason I was motivated to go into physical education is because I believe in lifelong fitness, and fitness for all. Growing up as a multi-sport athlete, it has been ingrained in me to workout and practice the movement that I love. I understand however, that pressures of competition and hours of practice a day is not for everyone. This is why I am passionate about helping others find the type of movement and physical activity that is right for them. I believe the way to ensure that people maintain their healthy habits is to change their mindset towards exercise - away from something that is seen as a chore, to something beneficial that can be enjoyed through all stages of life. 

I truly believe that physical activity is one of the best forms of preventative medicine. In an era where obesity and health issues are skyrocketing, I hope to motivate people to find an active outlet to not only participate in, but to enjoy.

Some of the best coaches and teachers I’ve had throughout my life were tough, but they were encouraging and supportive; I try to channel these qualities into my training as well. I believe all people, whether competitive athletes or your average Joe, respond well to positive motivation and constructive feedback, but we can all use a little nudge sometimes too. Therefore, my philosophy for coaching and training is to unite and inspire individuals with common goals through the use of encouragement and consistency.  I hope to create within my clients an ability to see and reach their own potential by enhancing their athletic strengths, increasing their self esteem, improving their communication and time management skills, and expanding their knowledge of movement and health.  It took me a long time to understand that the payoff to my hard work and commitment in sports is not just valuable in athletics, but also translates in to other aspects of my life. I hope to share this understanding with my clients and help them become the healthiest versions of themselves.
