I found CrossFit in my late 30s after years of distance running and chronic back pain. Without any childhood athletic background, I was initially intimidated by the wide range of movements and the barbell but quickly fell in love with my first CrossFit community and the strength and confidence I gained. I have a varied teaching background which led to my beginning coaching in the gym as well.
I love helping clients, both brand new and experienced, to hone their skills and find success. My primary career as a midwife can be physically demanding and CrossFit has provided me with the stamina and strength needed for both work and the various outdoor pursuits I love including hiking/backpacking, Nordic skiing, and keeping up with my teenagers.
