About my studio...

​

In 2001 I founded a small, personal training studio.  My vision was to identify alternative fitness opportunities for individuals and the local community.  I quickly attracted clientele with my friendly, professional style, and my business turned a profit within two months of opening.  I maintain a true passion for educating and motivating others to commit to a healthier lifestyle.

About 'Fitness as a Mindset'...

​

I created 'Fitness as a Mindset' to keep me on track with my own fitness program as I transitioned from competitive sports to a busy personal and professional life.  My 'Aha Moment' occurred in the early days of being a new parent when I was struggling to exercise, eat right, and get good sleep.  I figured out that I could successfully balance fitness and a busy life by applying the athletic mental skills I learned in sports.  I now offer 'Fitness as a Mindset' courses online, and as part of my personal training services.  I also offer on-site pep talks to inspire lifelong fitness.

You don't have to be an athlete to think like one!

Here's more of my story...

 

Back in the day, I was a highly competitive and very accomplished gymnast.  During those years I trained my mental skills just like I trained my sports skills. 

​

After I graduated from Cornell University, I went on to earn a master’s degree in sport psychology from the University of Maryland, College Park.  From there, I jumped right into the fitness industry and eventually started my own personal training studio and fitness business in Anacortes, WA. 

​

I now incorporate mental training with personal training, and I show clients how to continue their fitness commitment on their own.

 

No matter how busy your life, fitness can be a part of it. 

You can do it! 

 

Let’s get started on designing the 'Fitness as a Mindset' program that works best for YOU.
