I am a mixed martial artist, jiu jitsu practitioner, kickboxer, nutrition coach, and personal trainer. I have been working out of a martial arts dojo for two years now and work with a wide range of clientele for personal training, nutrition, and now private kickboxin lessons for those interested as well. Our school also offers membership for jiu jitsu, which includes some kickboxing and conditioning classes as well. 

I specialize in auto immune issues when it comes to nutrition, and I specialize in people 30 and up for personal training, but I am well versed enough to work with any client's needs for the most part. I have helped clients with Hashimoto's, IBS, diabetes, psoariasis, and more, including those just looking to lose weight and feel better in general.

I have worked with many women when it comes to personal training, and also a large number of men in their 40s and up. I am happy to help everyone that comes seeking.

My favorite client story

My favorite client story was recently, after helping a client who was dealing with thyroid issues ( she had it removed years ago) she contacted me to tell me that the new diet was feeling a lot better for her. She told me that she went to the doctor for a checkup and they were in shock to see she had begun growing a brand new thyroid. They hadn't seen this before so their instinct was to remove it, until they inspected further and realized it wasn't a tumor, but in fact a new thyroid. She is still being studied so they can figure out what is happening and if it's healthy, but she says she has been feeling much much better. While I cannot claim the credit of her growing a new thyroid, I have to think the change in diet had something to do with it, and even if not.... it's still my favorite client story!

My favorite exercise

My favorite exercise is anything with body weight movement because they are the most deceiving. It always seems so easy to do something that doesn't involve weights, but then you get a few minutes in and are feeling the burn in ways you never did simply lifting weights. Who am I kidding though? I love it all!

My training experience

I've been practicing Mixed Martial Arts for about 3 years and for the past year have helped with leading our conditioning classes from time to time. I have some experience with group classes and most recently have a handful of individual clients I've been leading through resistance training, plyometrics, and incorporating boxing and kickboxing into the regiments.
