A Bit About Me and my mission
The gym has felt like home to me since I was three, growing up immersed in gymnastics as an athlete, competitor, and coach. After a brief detour into tax accounting, I realized my true purpose was in helping others grow—physically, mentally, and emotionally—through movement and mindset.
​
Today, I specialize in supporting women navigating motherhood, identity shifts, eating disorder recovery, and athletic burnout. With certifications in pregnancy/postpartum training, corrective exercise, and nutrition, I offer personalized, holistic coaching that meets you where you are and helps your body support the life you want to live.
My mission is to help others feel healthier so they can live happier. If you’re ready to rebuild, grow, and feel strong from the inside out—you’re in the right place!
The Path That Shaped Mindful Movement
A look at how movement, mindset, and life experience shaped Mindful Movement.
Retired from competition after high school but continued to coach during college breaks while pursuing a degree and then starting my career in tax accounting.
2019 — Healing & Rediscovery
2020 — Turning Pain Into Purpose
After a personal loss and time away from the gym, I returned to movement for healing. Experiencing firsthand how physical, mental, and emotional health connect inspired me to become certified as a personal trainer.
2021 — A New Direction
The beginning of a slow transition out of accounting to begin coaching full-time, focusing on helping others find strength through movement and mindfulness while working on my Corrective Exercise specialization.
2022 — Growth Through Challenge
Faced profound grief after losing a close friend in my arms at the gym—an experience that deepened my understanding of resilience and purpose. To better support my clients through every stage of life I got Pregnancy and Postpartum specialized.
2023 — Rebuilding & Expanding Reach
After moving along the coast, I rebuilt my in-person client base while learning to maintain and support clients back home. This transition pushed me to expand into virtual sessions and online coaching, allowing me to reach more people regardless of location.
2024 — Growing Community
Hosted Mindful Movement for Moms, an event created to connect and empower women through movement and motherhood, and began teaching Functional Training Group Classes, further expanding my impact beyond 1:1 sessions.
2025 — Creating Space for Mindful Movement
Opened my home gym studio in November 2025, offering a welcoming, private space for 1:1 sessions and continuing to grow Mindful Movement as both a philosophy and a community.
