FEMALE-CENTRIC FITNESS

Female clients account for more than half of the fitness industry, and yet standard training guidelines and recommendations are largely focused on male bodies and opinions. If you’re female in any way, my commitment is to deliver a better training experience for all of us throughout every workout, setback, and comeback.

Together we will curate a personalized training program focused on strengthening with an optional focus on running. Your programming will be designed to align with your goals and your lifestyle. We will also work together toward a stronger sense of self.

Experience

I am all about transparency, and so here are my credentials and experiences:

  • M.Ed. Curriculum & Instruction (University of Toledo, 2013) with a focus on affective filter and its influence on learning

  • Certified Pure Barre Teacher (2016 to present) with five years of experience on the Corporate Training & Technique Team

  • Dave’s Running Marathon-In-Training Coach (2016-2018)

  • Pre- and Postnatal Coaching certification (Girls Gone Strong, 2026)

  • Women’s Coaching Specialist (Girls Gone Strong, in progress)

Purpose

Emotional affect (your degree or intensity of joy, sadness, and all other emotions) can influence the way our bodies respond to exercise, nutrition, and rest, and the inverse of that is just as real. Similarly, strong proprioception (mind-body connection) is key for controlled movement and stillness, and it is possible to improve proprioception with comprehensible guidance.

In a nutshell, part of my mission is to teach you what to do, including how and why, so that you can own your body. And a non-negotiable is that the process and outcomes will overwhelm you with joy.

Serving Every type of female

Females have specific demands in terms of anatomy and physiology, nutrition and eating, and movement and exercise, and no two female bodies are exactly alike. We deserve to understand our body systems and functions so that they are no longer roadblocks. And something really cool is that by implementing the right exercise program, aspects of your physical and mental health that may currently be aggravating if not debilitating might improve and be at least a little more tolerable.

You are not required to identify in any particular category of female. That said, you can click through specific populations for which I’m most passionate and honored to serve. Regardless of where you land on the spectrum of femaleness, I will be your guide.

  • Adolescence, including puberty, is a critical phase for a lifetime of bone density and optimal volumes of muscle and adipose tissue. From my own lived experience as a young female athlete, I know all too well that the strength training resources for high school girls typically miss the mark at best. It doesn’t have to be that way.

  • You deserve a safe and comfortable environment to strengthen your body and self as a whole. You have your own needs regarding biomechanics, bone density, muscle and adipose tissue, just like every other human being on earth does. Overlooked but critical, you might also benefit from guidance on how to move your body with equipment such as binders. You also deserve a coach who accepts, honors, and respects who you are and your goals, unconditionally.

  • Although common practice is for women to return to physical activity at 6-8 weeks after labor and delivery, that guidance doesn’t necessarily align with science. Even so, you deserve to strengthen your body and can do so safely and effectively. Listen to your body, follow the science, and let a coach walk or run at your side.

  • The brain and the heart get all of the pomp and circumstance, but they owe so much to hormones. If you are experiencing menopause and the subsequent frustrating if not debilitating changes in your body and mind, you are normal. And guess what? You still get to own your body and your strength.
