About Me

I’m a fitness, nutrition, and life coach who helps people build strength, confidence, and sustainable routines by honoring the body and the life they actually have. My approach is rooted in compassion, evidence-based practice, and a deep belief that health is never one size fits all. I support clients through movement, nourishment, mindset, and environment because real change happens when all of those pieces work together.

My Path into This Work

Movement has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I spent more than 25 years as a dancer, learning how the body expresses strength, emotion, and imbalance through even the smallest shifts. Dance taught me discipline and creativity, but it also exposed me to the consequences of being pushed in ways that were not right for my body. As a hypermobile athlete, I was often misunderstood by trainers who did not recognize the unique needs and risks that come with hypermobility. Their well-intentioned but misinformed guidance led to preventable injuries. These experiences shaped my commitment to coaching with awareness, precision, and respect.

My early coaching years were spent in gymnastics, where I worked with young athletes navigating strength, flexibility, fear, and ambition. That work taught me how to break down complex skills into safe, achievable steps and how to create an environment where people feel supported rather than pressured. It reinforced something I now consider foundational. Great coaching is never about forcing someone into a mold. It is about understanding who they are, how they move, and what they need to thrive.

Lived Experience That Shapes My Philosophy

My approach to nutrition and body image is shaped by my own history. As a teenager, I struggled with eating disorders. It was a time marked by shame, misinformation, and a deep disconnect from my own body. Healing from that period taught me how powerful it is when someone finally meets you with empathy instead of judgment. It also taught me that food is never just food. It is identity, safety, and self-trust.

These experiences fuel my commitment to evidence-based, shame-free nutrition coaching. I help clients build a healthier relationship with food by focusing on nourishment, flexibility, and long-term sustainability rather than restriction or perfection.

Disability Advocacy and Neurodivergent Safe Support

As an autistic coach who also navigates ADHD and hypermobility, I have seen firsthand how frequently disabled and neurodivergent people are overlooked or unsupported in traditional fitness environments. I know what it feels like to be in spaces where communication is unclear, expectations are unpredictable, sensory needs are ignored, and support is based on assumptions rather than understanding.

These experiences shaped my commitment to creating coaching spaces that are genuinely inclusive rather than simply open to everyone. I advocate for accessible, adaptable fitness that honors each person’s body, brain, and lived experience. My coaching is intentionally neurodivergent safe. I use clear communication, flexible structure, sensory-aware movement options, consent-based progression, and I create space for stimming, fidgeting, pacing, or taking breaks. I do not moralize food, bodies, productivity, or energy levels. Every person deserves a training environment where they feel seen, respected, and safe to show up exactly as they are without masking, without shame, and without having to justify their needs.

A Whole Life Approach

Over time, I realized that movement and nutrition are only part of the picture. People do not struggle because they lack motivation. They struggle because life is complex. Bodies, schedules, emotions, environments, and responsibilities all interact. Real change happens when all of those pieces are supported.

This is why I expanded my work to include life coaching and professional organization.
Life coaching helps clients build self-trust, set boundaries, manage overwhelm, and create routines that fit their real lives. Professional organization supports the practical side of change by reducing environmental stress, simplifying daily tasks, and creating systems that support executive function. Together, these services create a whole life approach that helps clients feel grounded, capable, and supported from the inside out.

The Coach I Am Today

Everything I have lived and learned influences the way I support clients now. My background includes dance, gymnastics coaching, hypermobility, injury, recovery, disability advocacy, neurodivergent experience, life coaching, professional organization, and evidence-based education. My work is:

• science based
• mobility aware
• disability affirming
• neurodivergent safe
• compassion driven
• whole life oriented
• individualized
• sustainable

I work with people who want to feel stronger, more energized, and more at home in their bodies. This includes clients who are managing hypermobility, navigating chronic pain, rebuilding trust with movement, or simply trying to create routines that finally stick.

Why I Do This

I coach because I know what it feels like to be misunderstood by trainers.
I coach because I know what it feels like to be injured by the wrong approach.
I coach because I know what it feels like to struggle with food and body image.
I coach because I know what it feels like to be dismissed in medical and fitness spaces.
I coach because I know how overwhelming life can feel without support.
I coach because I know how transformative it is when someone finally listens, understands, and guides you with clarity instead of judgment.

My mission is to be that person for my clients.

Together, we can build a relationship with movement, nutrition, and daily life that feels empowering, sustainable, and aligned with who you are.
