What I do as a WELLness Coach

As a coach for female athletes and active women, I optimize training and lifestyle through the latest research tailored to the female experience. My mission is to empower women to achieve their goals while prioritizing their long-term health.

Optimizing Training: I create personalized programs that maximize athletic potential, incorporating female-specific strength training and performance methodologies.

Elevating Performance: I help athletes enhance their training strategies, biomechanics, and recovery protocols for consistent improvement and breakthroughs.

Improving Recovery: I guide effective recovery practices, including nutrition, active recovery, and stress management, crucial for balancing training with life commitments.

Creating Healthy Habits: I focus on developing sustainable lifestyle habits that promote overall well-being, emphasizing healthy boundaries, quality sleep, and a positive relationship with food.

By leveraging female-specific research in areas such as strength training and hormone health, I provide a holistic coaching experience. My goal is to empower women to excel in their sport while thriving in all aspects of life.

With 38 years of experience in the Chicagoland fitness community, I coach high school girls' cross country and work with athletes to support their mental and physical well-being. My personal journey around body image and sports discrimination informs my coaching style.

A little about me: I love high school and college athletics, prefer the mountains to the beach, and am passionate about protecting the planet. I am still an avid runner and love skiing, hiking, pizza, and hanging out with friends and my family.
