    From living a long time in South Africa, my passion for fitness is deeply rooted in my background as an avid surfer, competitive soccer player, and former gymnast. My personal athletic journey has shaped my coaching philosophy, driving me to continuously push boundaries, challenge conventional training methods, and elevate human performance.

    There is nothing more inspiring than being a witness to a person’s ever improving health and well being, both in mind and body. This is truly what I love most about being a trainer. Fitness Together provides a customized approach for each and every individual, taking into account the client’s ever changing needs and goals. As the person evolves so must their program. This is done in a nonjudgmental environment, one that makes folks feel safe to be themselves and to grow. I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals ranging from young adults to seniors at FT and continue to learn and grow as a trainer not just from continuing education but also from my team and with each client I work with. I enjoy working with all clients but have always found close to my heart our senior clientele. Keeping this community functional, and strong is so very important to me on a number of levels. I also feel it’s my way of giving back and saying thank you.

    in my free time I like to
    I enjoy singing and performance and have been since I was little. More recently I was involved in an acoustic duo performing in both, public and private venues. I like to get outdoors and active whatever season that may be. I became a member of the Trustees of the state which offers all kinds of guided events that educate folks on the history of our habitat and how efforts are being made to protect it through fun events such as a kayaking with seals in Newburyport, hiking through the sand dunes at Crane’s Beach, and so on. I also love animals and feel a calling to be a voice for them. I believe loving and protecting them is vital to our existence. All creation is a gift.

    Graduated in May of 2023,from Saint Anselm College. With a degree in Marketing and Sports Studies. During my time at Saint Anselm, I was fortunate to be a part of the men's basketball team, where in my time we won 2 league championships and made the NCAA Tournament. I have always been in tune with strength training and fitness, being an athlete, but in college I had two hip surgeries that gave me a greater passion for injury prevention and helping people through their own journeys. Making fitness and working out not only a way to work on our physical selves, but to be able to challenge ourselves mentally as well and show ourselves we can tackle whatever it is we are facing in our lives. I have had the fortunate opportunities of being trained by former and current NBA strength coaches. Having been able to learn the world of strength and conditioning through their vast knowledge and training methods. I recently interned as a strength coach at The Athletic Way in Bedford, NH.

    Exercise wasn’t important in my life until 2014, when I started taking Crossfit classes due to“Peer pressure” from my friends. When I started, I had just quit smoking and couldn’t run 100 yards without my lungs burning. I was challenged physically and mentally by these workouts in a way I had never experienced, and I was hooked. I fell in love with the technique and intricacies of the barbell Olympic lifts common in crossfit, and began to focus my training toward strength and the mechanics of lifting. Within a few years, my friends and fitness family were encouraging me to leave hospitality and pursue fitness as a career. The lull of the Covid Epidemic allowed me the space to earn my certifications and I have been joyfully training clients in Massachusetts and New Hampshire since!

    in my free time I like to
    Growing up in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, I have a deep connection to the great outdoors. I love all seasons and take joy in exploring and immersing myself in nature. I dabble in oil painting and continue to hone my artistic skills through practice, inspired by the birds and woodland creatures in my backyard. I spend the rest of my free time exercising, doing puzzles, reading, listening to podcasts, cooking and thinking about the complexities of human movement. I am always eager to help friends and family with their exercise and nutrition goals and find my most gratifying days are when I can positively impact someone else’s life.

    I have over ten years of experience in the wellness industry, I was born an athlete and fascinated by the human body and the mind/body connection. In school, I played soccer, basketball, and tennis. I started practicing yoga to ease pain in my lower back caused by scoliosis. Fascinated with the positive results and personal empowerment, I knew I wanted to help others feel good (inside and out)! Lived in San Diego in 2014. I worked in a trailer classroom working with a nonprofit that provided fitness classes to bilingual teachers working in low-income areas of San Diego County. In 2019, I led a yoga retreat in Thailand and explored the world of Southeast Asia. In Goa India, I received my advanced yoga teacher certificate. My biggest journey yet: motherhood! I gave birth to my daughter in 2021. Though filled with joy and awe in my heart, my body suffered from serious Diastasis Recti which led to my extensive research on core recovery and the pilates method.

    in my free time I like to
    In my free time, I like to spend time outdoors in nature, whether it be hiking solo or playing with my daughter at the playground. I enjoy planning adventures over seas, painting, creative writing, puzzles, and chant every morning and evening as a part of my morning/bedtime routine.
