Hi there and welcome to this wonderful community of self-healers, health-enthusiasts, and those somewhere on their journey. I started Holistic Habits and Performance with one goal in mind: to educate and support women on their journey to purpose and fulfillment.

As a young girl, I danced competitively, sang, and acted in numerous musical productions. Although at one point I wanted to move to New York and take my shot at Broadway, I ended up deciding that lifestyle wasn’t for me. I fell in love with movement and strength training as a young adult when I noticed my mental and physical health improved as a result of it. I ended up getting my degree in Kinesiology - the study of human movement. I then worked in two very different gym settings: one with primarily older adults recovering from cardiac and/or pulmonary rehab, and the other with generally healthy young adults whose main goals revolved around how their body looked.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand the appeal of a fit, toned body; however, the mental aspect of focusing on aesthetics is far more harmful than it is good.

I saw many clients meet many goals, only to turn around and regress after we stopped working together. I thought there had to be a different way. I found that it all boils down to the holistic approach and goal setting. As a trainer, I can’t do my best work unless I know the whole you, which is why I incorporate mental and spiritual health into my practice. And I can’t wait to get started with you!! Call, email, or come see me to chat about your next moves, the best hike destinations, our kids/pets, and of course food.

Cheers to healthy habits and hopeful hearts!
