About Optimize You
Personal Training & Fitness

Being physically active and challenging myself are significant elements of what defines me. I am also energized by connecting with others, learning their story, and developing relationships.

In 2016, I realized it was time for me to connect the dots between my love for goal setting and self-improvement and empowering others to do the same. I sought out certification as a personal trainer through the National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM), as they follow an evidence-based approach to fitness and nutrition. I am a proponent of understanding why an exercise, movement or nutritional choice is valuable, and I share that information with my clients. As a result, each client has a clear understanding of the purpose behind what we do, which supports commitment and consistency.

In addition, I have had important people in my life face the challenges associated with cancer. Those going through cancer treatment can struggle with not only strength issues but also balance, mobility, nutrition challenges and depleted energy. Some of my personal training time is spent working with clients through Survival2Strength (S2S) a non-profit that provides personal training sessions to cancer survivors at no cost.
