What first got you into fitness?
Throughout high school and college, I struggled with body image issues, which was partly due to low self-esteem, but also a lack of knowledge about healthy lifestyle behaviors. As I learned more about proper nutrition and physical activity, the people around me started reaching out for guidance, which inspired me to become a health coach. I fell in love with coaching and training people, so 5 years later, I made a complete career shift from college admissions to full-time health and fitness. I am happier and more fulfilled than ever before!

Finding Sanctuary, because I can be myself, share my gifts, and spread light to others.

What does the word "Sanctuary" mean to you?
Sanctuary means freedom and a meaningful place to be yourself at all times. It’s a place where you can let go and just be in the present moment. A place where you can escape the stresses of the outside world for a period of time. A place to refresh, reset, regroup, refocus. A place to unwind and let it all out through physical and mental stimulation.
