Fitness:

My approach to movement is that it should be fun and accessible. I work to create a space where everyone and every body feels accepted. I believe that the best type of physical activity is the one that they enjoy and I love helping people figure out what that is for them.

 

When I first started working out, I was too embarrassed to head to the gym on my own so I started running outside in back alleys. Really. Since having my two kids, fitness has become an important part of my own self-care. I love how fitness can create community and bring people together.
