FITNESS
My lifelong passion for an active lifestyle led me from classroom teaching to Physical Education and eventually to becoming an Aquatics Director. Along the way, I earned extensive American Red Cross Instructorship credentials and ACA certification as a Kayak/SUP instructor. Amidst my journey, I found solace in fitness as a means to heal my spinal injuries, eventually becoming a NASM certified CPT, Golf Fitness Specialist, Nutritionist, and more.
Functional Strength Training
Functional training focuses on exercises that mimic real-life movements to improve strength, flexibility, and endurance for everyday activities. It emphasizes movements that engage multiple muscle groups and joints simultaneously, promoting better overall functionality and reducing the risk of injury.
By targeting movements relevant to daily life, such as squatting, lifting, pushing, and pulling, functional training helps individuals develop practical strength and mobility for enhanced performance in both athletic pursuits and daily tasks.
Each session begins with a warm-up and stretching. We will move through your program which has been personally tailored to your needs and level with short breaks. I will incorporate short bursts of cardio movement, also known as HIIT. The session will end with a cool-down and stretching as well.

Yoga can benefit people of any fitness level, it helps reduce stress, helps promote self-acceptance and draws focus from outward appearance to inward contemplation and self-improvement. Yoga is free of criticism, judgment and comparison of oneself to others. Throughout its long history, which stretches back to the beginning of human civilization, yoga has guided practitioners in correct living, physical vitality, spirituality, and the path to enlightenment.
Golf Fitness

Their primary focus is on improving strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, and overall physical conditioning, all of which are crucial elements for success in golf.
I work closely with you to assess your current fitness levels, identify any physical limitations or areas of weakness, and develop personalized training plans to address these issues. I incorporate a variety of exercises and techniques, including strength training, flexibility exercises, core stability drills, cardiovascular workouts, and mobility exercises, all with the aim of optimizing your physical capabilities.
Additionally, I often provide guidance on injury prevention strategies, proper warm-up and cool-down routines, and techniques for recovery and rehabilitation. I also offer advice on nutrition, hydration, and lifestyle factors that can impact your performance on the golf course.
My overall goal is to help you, the golfer, improve your physical fitness, minimize the risk of injury, and ultimately enhance your performance and enjoyment of the game.
