About me
I am a wife and a proud Mama to two amazing daughters! Our family is extremely fitness-oriented, and if I am not cheering on a court or a field, you will definitely find me in the studio—that is my absolute happy place.
I first discovered barre back in 2008 through a DVD a friend lent me. As great as that workout was, I was thrilled to find my first actual barre studio in 2010 and quickly became obsessed. I was amazed at how much my strength and flexibility increased. Around that same time, I also discovered my deep love for group fitness, the incredible exchange of energy throughout a class, and the sense of community it brings.
In 2015, I was offered the opportunity to become a certified instructor, and I jumped on it without hesitation! I am certified in Barre, TRX, IndoRow, and Triggerpoint Therapy.
In my classes, you will be challenged and supported, and you are guaranteed to leave with a feeling of success and a smile!

Her use of a variety of props keeps class interesting and your muscles challenged and engaged. She welcomes feedback and often asks us if there are areas we want to focus on in a particular class. I can't recommend her highly enough!” —Kathy J.
