MEET THE FOUNDER

I'm an adventure enthusiast, embracing a carefree lifestyle while consistently striving to offer my best. I don't take myself too seriously, but I approach health and fitness with utmost dedication. In 2022, I faced life-threatening injuries with minimal hope of being able to walk again. Over the course of an entire year, I focused all my energy and efforts into relearning fundamental mechanics. Despite the daily obstacles, I am thankful for the newly-discovered perspective this experience has brought to my life. With the opening of Back For Life Pilates, I hope to empower others who suffer from debilitating chronic pain and/or brokenness to fulfillment. I am the embodiment that Pilates can serve as a vital element of one's ongoing recovery and training. As a forever athlete and having been in the Fitness Training industry since 2012, I commit to learning, as exercise science is ever-evolving and seek guidance from DPTs to support my program. My goal is to teach techniques to function so that we not only survive, but we thrive! Together, let's get back for life!

I relearned how to walk and then was able to run again; got up from every bike crash to prove that I can keep going; and taught myself how to swim so that I could conquer my biggest fear.​

Happy to have done it all. Thank you everyone for the love and support.
