“Stay adventure-ready!”

This has been my personal approach to fitness for years. I spent four years as a wilderness Search and Rescue operator in Washington state, and I know firsthand how strong foundational movement carries over into so many areas of life. As a skier, hiker, and ultimate frisbee player, I see it every time I get outside.

“Adventure-ready” means something different for everyone. It might be training for a race, feeling confident and strong in your body for everyday life, or playing with your kids or grandkids without worrying about getting hurt.

My approach comes from 20 years of weightlifting, a love for the outdoors, an endless fascination with how the human body moves, and working through injuries of my own. I know what it takes to come back stronger, and I believe every single person deserves to feel strong in their body.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Personal Trainer, Functional Strength Coach, and Barbell Rehab provider, I bring together massage, mobility programming, and movement assessment to help you optimize your movement and create your strongest self.

After six years in Seattle, I moved back to New England in 2024 to be closer to family. When I’m not in the gym, you can find me paddle boarding, hiking in the mountains, or lifting weights.
