Thanks for coming to visit me here!   I so often feel so blessed to have “happened into” so many wonderful opportunities to help clients, fitness professionals, and others to take powerful steps forward in their physical and spiritual journeys. Here at Fit For Freedom, I have the opportunity to coach clients toward their health using exercise, and toward their mental-emotional wellbeing via meditation.  I love to make things simple, whether it’s 10-minute workouts or 1-minute meditations.  These are the kinds of mental techniques that I started with myself, and still what i use today when things get more challenging.  I know this path, and I LOVE teaching it to others.  

The Five Foundations of wellness are so critically important, now more than ever, for our world today: 

  • Breathing

  • Movement

  • Nutrition

  • Lifestyle

  • Mind

I am also immensely proud of having used principles like these more than a decade ago to establish the world's first dedicated pre & postnatal fitness education company, Fit For Birth, inc. It is through my work here that I have been able to affect the culture of thousands of practitioners in more than 50 countries around the world!

I’ve long thought that a dream job that I would love to have one day, would be to become a high school teacher, empowering today’s youth to love life, to have a deeper spiritual understanding of it, and ultimately to feel empowered and happier even in the challenging times.  Now that I have three teens of my own, I am more excited than ever to take steps in that direction.
